其後李蔡、嚴青翟、趙周、石慶、公孫賀、劉屈氂繼踵為丞相。 After him came Li Cai, Yan Qingdi, Zhao Zhou, Shi Qing, Gongsun He, and Liu Qumao, each in turn as chancellor.

自蔡至慶，丞相府客館丘虛而已，至賀、屈氂時壞以為馬廄車庫奴婢室矣。 From Li Cai through Shi Qing the chancellor's guest halls stood empty as ruins; under Gongsun He and Liu Qumao they were torn down for stables, coach houses, and servants' quarters.
