澤與宰相趙鳳有舊，數私於鳳，求為給諫。 Ze had old ties with Chief Minister Zhao Feng and repeatedly visited him in private, seeking a post as remonstrance censor.

鳳薄其為人，以為太常少卿。 Feng disdained his character and had him appointed Vice Director of the Court of Sacrificial Worship instead.

章下中書，鳳等言：「澤未拜命而稱新官，輕侮朝廷，請坐以法。」 When the memorial reached the Secretariat, Feng and the others said, "Ze has styled himself by a new office before receiving appointment. This shows contempt for the court. We ask that he be punished according to law."
