以名士李巡、張參為判官，卒於幕，三歲之內，每遇宴飲，必設虛位於筵次，陳膳執酹，辭色心妻惻，論者美之。 He appointed the renowned scholars Li Xun and Zhang Can as administrative aides. When they died in his service, for three years at every banquet he set an empty place of honor, laid out food, and poured libations with heart-rending grief. Commentators praised his devotion.
