太祖崩，友珪立，以翔先帝謀臣，懼其圖己，不欲翔居內職，乃以李振代翔為崇政使，拜翔中書侍郎、同中書門下平章事。 At Taizu’s death Yougui succeeded; fearing Xiang, the late emperor’s chief plotter, he kept him from inner office, put Li Zhen in charge of Chongzheng, and made Xiang Vice Director and co-equal of the Secretariat.

翔以友珪畏己，多稱疾，未嘗省事。 Knowing Yougui feared him, Xiang often claimed sickness and never touched business.
