世祖卽位，僧虔以風疾欲陳解，會遷侍中、左光祿大夫、開府儀同三司。 When Shizu acceded, Sengqian—afflicted with wind numbness—meant to resign by memorial, but was instead raised to regular attendant, Left Grand Master of the Splendid Hall, and Merit Equal to the Founding Duke.

乃固辭不拜，上優而許之。 He refused firmly and would not bow to it; the throne was gracious and let him go.
