傅幕客王世修亦疾中官恣橫，以告武功大夫劉正彥，正彥曰：“會當共除之。” Fu’s adviser Wang Shixiu, who also loathed eunuch insolence, told Military Merit Grandee Liu Zhengyan; Zhengyan said, “We will destroy them together when the moment comes.”

王淵躋樞筦，正彥以為由宦者所薦，愈不平，謀遂決。 Wang Yuan was vaulted to Bureau Commissioner; Zhengyan believed eunuchs had engineered the promotion, grew angrier still, and the conspiracy was sealed.
