分別奏組等共養勞苦狀。 He filed a separate memorial on Hu Zu and Guo Zhengqing’s care.

詔吉求組、征卿，已死，有子孫，皆受厚賞。 The court sought Hu Zu and Guo Zhengqing; both were dead, but their descendants were richly rewarded.

及組日滿當去，皇孫思慕，吉以私錢顧組，令留與郭徽卿並養數月，乃遣組去。 When Hu Zu’s term ended, Bing Ji paid her from his own pocket to stay on with Guo Zhengqing a few months longer.

候伺組、徽卿，不得令晨夜去皇孫敖蕩，數奏甘毳食物。 He watched the nurses so they would not neglect the boy and sent delicate food.

教宣皇帝時，臣上書言狀，幸得下吉，吉謙讓不敢自伐，刪去臣辭，專歸美於組、徽卿。 When Emperor Xuan came to the throne I, Zun, reported the story; Bing Ji struck out my lines and gave the credit to Hu Zu and Guo Zhengqing.

組、徽卿皆以受田宅賜錢，吉封為博陽侯，臣尊不得比組、徽卿。 Hu Zu and Guo Zhengqing received land and cash while Bing Ji was ennobled; I, Zun, cannot rank with them.
