在漢州，張嘉貞為益州長史、判都督事，性簡貴，待管內刺史禮隔，而引擇言同榻，坐談政理，時人榮之。 When Zeyan was in Han Prefecture, Zhang Jiazhen served as chief secretary of Yizhou and acted as military governor. Aloof and proud by nature, Zhang kept the prefects in his circuit at a formal distance, yet invited Zeyan to share his couch and discuss affairs of government; contemporaries regarded this as a signal honor.
