上以融才辯，十一年，使兼主客，接虜使房景高、宋弁。 Because the emperor valued Rong's eloquence, in the eleventh year he made him also Director of Guests to receive the Northern Wei envoys Fang Jinggao and Song Bian.

景高又云：「在北聞主客此制，勝於顏延年，實願一見。」 Jinggao added, "In the north I heard that the Director of Guests wrote this piece, surpassing Yan Yanzhi—I would truly like to see it."
