暕頗驕恣，昵近小人，所行多不法，遣喬令則、劉虔安、裴該、皇甫諶、庫狄仲錡、陳智偉等求聲色狗馬。 Zheng was arrogant and willful, intimate with petty men; much of what he did was unlawful. He sent Qiao Lingze, Liu Qian'an, Pei Gai, Huangfu Chen, Kudi Zhongqi, Chen Zhiwei, and others to seek music, women, dogs, and horses.

仲錡、智偉二人詣隴西，撾炙諸胡，責其名馬，得數匹以進於。 Zhongqi and Zhiwei went to Longxi, abused the foreign traders there, demanded their famous horses, and obtained several steeds to present to Zheng.
