從榮寮屬甚眾，而正直之士多見惡，其尤所惡者劉贊、王居敏，而所昵者劉陟、高輦。 Congrong’s staff was large; upright men he mostly despised—above all Liu Zan and Wang Jumin; he favored Liu Zhi and Gao Nian.

從榮兵出，與陟、輦並轡耳語，行至天津橋南，指日景謂輦曰：「明日而今，誅王居敏矣！」 Marching out, Congrong rode beside Zhi and Nian, whispering; south of Tianjin Bridge he pointed at the sun’s shadow and told Nian: “This time tomorrow Wang Jumin dies!”
