乾祐初,授鎮州副使,過鄴城,高行周接之甚歡,鵬因言及晉朝傾亡之事,少帝任用失人,藩輔之臣,惟務積財富家,不以國家為意,以至宗社泯滅,非獨帝王之咎也。 Early in Qianyou he was made deputy commissioner of Zhenzhou. Passing through Yecheng he was warmly received by Gao Xingzhou, and Peng spoke of the fall of Jin: the Young Emperor had chosen the wrong men; frontier ministers cared only to enrich their families and not the state, until the dynasty was destroyed—a failure not of the emperor alone.
