武宗立，命為江浙行省平章政事，邦寧辭曰：「臣以閹腐餘命，無望更生，先朝幸赦而用之，使得承乏中涓，高爵厚祿，榮寵過甚。 When Wuzong took the throne, he was appointed pingzhang political commissioner of the Jiang-Zhe Branch Secretariat. Bangning declined, saying, "I am only a castrated man spared from death; I have no hope of a new life. The previous emperor mercifully pardoned and employed me, letting me fill a post among the palace attendants — rank, salary, and honors already far beyond my deserts.
