時蘇逢吉等在中書，樞密使楊邠、副樞密使郭威等，權勢甚盛，中書每有除授，多為邠等所抑。 At this time Su Fengji and his colleagues held the Secretariat, while Military Affairs Commissioner Yang Bin, Deputy Commissioner Guo Wei, and others wielded great power; many Secretariat appointments were blocked by Bin's faction.

濤不平之，因上疏請出邠等，以藩鎮授之，樞密之務，宜委逢吉、禹珪。 Tao resented this imbalance and memorialized that Bin and his allies be sent out to frontier commands while Military Affairs affairs be entrusted to Fengji and Yugui.
