初，渾之歸行在，賊泚籍其名甚，願以致之，猶疑匿在閭裏，乃加宰相。 At first, when Hun returned to the traveling palace, the rebel Zhu Ci greatly desired to win him over. Still suspecting he was hidden among the common folk, Ci added him as chief minister.

及克復，渾尚名載，乃上言：「頃為狂賊點穢，臣實恥稱舊名，矧字或帶戈，時當偃武，請改名渾。」 When recovery was achieved, Hun was still named Zai. He submitted, saying, "Recently I was stained by the mad rebel. I am truly ashamed to use my old name. Moreover the character may carry the spear radical, and now is the time to rest arms. I request to change my name to Hun."
