初，偓侍宴，與京兆鄭元規、威遠使陳班並席，辭曰：「學士不與外班接。」 On one occasion when Wo was attending a feast seated together with Zheng Yuangui of the metropolitan prefecture and Chen Ban, envoy of Weiyuan, he declined, saying, "Academicians do not sit with the outer roster of officials."

既元規、班至，終絕席。 When Yuangui and Ban arrived, he at last broke off the shared mat.

鄭元規曰：「偓位侍郎、學士承旨，公無遽。」 Zheng Yuangui said, "Wo holds the rank of vice minister and chief academician of the Hanlin Academy. My lord, you must not act in haste."

New History of the Five Dynasties, Chapter 13Volume 13: The Later Liang Imperial Family · 1 passage

宰相崔胤遣人止太祖，太祖以為友倫胤等殺之，奏請誅胤等，昭宗未從，乃遣友諒至京師，以兵圍開化坊，殺胤及京兆尹鄭元規、皇城使王建勛、飛龍使陳班、閣門使王建襲、客省使王建乂、前左僕射張浚。 Cui Yin sent envoys to halt him, but Taizu was convinced that Yin and his circle had murdered Youlun. He demanded their deaths; Zhaozong refused. Taizu then sent Youliang to the capital with troops, invested Kaihua Ward, and killed Yin, Zheng Yuangui, Metropolitan Prefect of Jingzhao, Wang Jianxun of the Imperial City, Chen Ban of the Flying Dragon Office, Wang Jianxi of the Gate Office, Wang Jianyi of the Reception Office, and the former Left Vice Director Zhang Jun.
