一日，遜等晚歸私第，準與溫仲舒並轡，有狂民迎馬首拜呼萬歲。 One evening Xun and the others were late leaving for home; Zhun was riding abreast with Wen Zhongshu when a deranged commoner met their horses, bowed, and shouted "Long live!"

準自辯：「實與仲舒同行，蓋遜令賓獨奏斥臣。」 Zhun defended himself: "I was in fact riding with Zhongshu; Xun must have had Bin lodge the accusation against me alone."

初，溫仲舒知州日，開拓山林，諷藩部獻其地。 When Wen Zhongshu had governed the prefecture, he had opened mountains and forests and prompted frontier tribes to offer their lands.
