韋堅之獄，王鉷等方文致，而慎矜依違不甚力，鉷恨之，雖林甫亦不悅。 During Wei Jian's prosecution, Wang Hong and others were busy fabricating the case, but Shenjin hedged and did not throw himself into it. Hong bore a grudge, and even Li Linfu was displeased.

及為侍御史，繇慎矜所引，後遷中丞，同列，慎矜猶以子姓畜之，鉷負林甫勢，滋不平。 Hong had entered service as attendant censor on Shenjin's recommendation and later rose to censor-in-chief as his equal, yet Shenjin still treated him like a junior relative. Backed by Li Linfu's power, Hong's resentment only deepened.
