御史中丞王鉷充京畿采訪使，表為判官。 Wang Hong, vice censor-in-chief and capital-region investigating commissioner, recommended him as his judicial aide.

冕雖無學術，守職通明，果於臨事，鉷甚委之。 Though Mian lacked scholarly training, he was clear-minded in office and decisive in action, and Hong relied on him heavily.

及鉷得罪伏法，時宰臣李林甫方竊權柄，人鹹懼之，鉷賓佐數百，不敢窺鉷門。 When Hong was executed, Li Linfu held power and everyone feared him; Hong's hundreds of retainers dared not even approach his gate.

冕獨收鉷屍，親自護喪，瘞於近郊，冕自是知名。 Mian alone recovered Hong's body, personally conducted the funeral, and buried him in the suburbs; from that day his name was known.
