希範平生惡拓拔常諫諍，常入謁，希範呼閽者指常曰：「吾不欲見此人，勿復內也。」
Xifan had always disliked Tuoba Chang's blunt counsel. When Chang came to court, Xifan told the gatekeeper, pointing at him, "I do not want to see this man again. Keep him out."
乃謝絕之。
He shut Chang out entirely.

When he fell gravely ill, he recalled Chang's counsel, judged it loyal, summoned him, and entrusted Ma Xiguang to his care.

After Xifan's death, Chang repeatedly urged Xiguang to yield the throne to his elder brother Ma Xie, but Xiguang refused.
希廣將劉彥瑫謀曰：「武陵之來，其意不善，宜出兵迎之，以備非常，使其解甲釋兵而後入。」
