太后知其賢，授戶部使，以康默記族女女之。 Recognizing his talent, the empress dowager made him commissioner of the household bureau and gave him a daughter of the Kang Mojiji clan in marriage.

十八年，北院樞密使韓德讓舉合卓為中丞，以太后遺物使宋。 In the eighteenth year the Northern Chancellery commissioner Han Derang recommended Hezhuo as chief censor and sent him to Song bearing the empress dowager's parting gifts.
