西陽王子明代爲南兖州，憲仍留爲冠軍長史，太守如故，頻行州府事。 When Ziming, Prince of Xiyang, was posted to Southern Yanzhou, Xian remained chief secretary under the champion with his grand administrator post unchanged, repeatedly acting in provincial and prefectural affairs.

永明八年，子明典籤劉道濟取府州五十人役自給，又役子明左右，及船仗贓私百萬，爲有司所奏，世祖怒，賜道濟死。 In the eighth year of Yongming, Ziming's chief clerk Liu Daoji conscripted fifty men from the prefecture and province for his own use, also used labor from Ziming's personal attendants, and embezzled a million in ships, arms, and private goods; when the responsible officials memorialized the case, Emperor Wu was furious and ordered Daoji to death.
