陸贄疑有黨，出為明州長史。 Lu Zhi suspected him of factional ties and had him posted out as chief administrator of Mingzhou.

贄之貶忠州，宰相欲害之，起吉甫為忠州刺史，使甘心焉。 When Lu Zhi was demoted to Zhongzhou, the chancellor wished to destroy him and appointed Jifu prefect of Zhongzhou so that he might take satisfaction in Lu Zhi's downfall.

既至，置怨，與結歡，人益重其量，坐是不徙者六歲。 Once he arrived he put aside resentment and befriended Lu Zhi; people admired his magnanimity all the more, and for this reason he was not transferred for six years.
