己巳，以新除黃門待郎周奉叔爲青州刺史。 Day jisi: Zhou Fengshu, newly made gentleman of the yellow gate, was appointed inspector of Qing.

閹豎徐龍駒專總樞密，奉叔、珍之互執權柄，自以爲任得其人，表裏緝穆，邁蕭、曹而愈信、布，倚太山而坐平原。 The eunuch Xu Longju held the keys of state; Fengshu and Zhenzhi traded the levers of power, each sure the right men were in place—court and camp "smooth as silk," outdoing Xiao He and Cao Shen, more trusted than Xin and Bo, resting on Mount Tai as if the plain were enough.

中書舍人綦母珍之、朱隆之，直閤將軍曹道剛、周奉叔，竝爲帝羽翼。 Qimu Zhenzhi and Zhu Longzhi, gentlemen of the secretariat, and Cao Daogang and Zhou Fengshu, direct-pavilion generals—all were the emperor's wings.

高宗屢諫不納，先啓誅龍駒，次誅奉叔及珍之，帝竝不能違。 The High Ancestor warned him again and again, and was not heard. He asked first for Longju's head, then for Fengshu's and Zhenzhi's—and the emperor could refuse none of it.
