復出，宰相李勉、盧翰、劉從一方同歸中書，中使馬欽緒至，揖從一，附耳語而退，諸相各歸閣。 Fu went out. Chief ministers Li Mian, Lu Han, and Liu Congyi together returned to the Secretariat. Palace envoy Ma Qinxu arrived, bowed to Liu Congyi, whispered in his ear, and withdrew. The ministers each returned to their offices.

從一詣復曰：「適欽緒宣旨，令與公商量朝來所奏便進，勿令李勉、盧翰知。」 Liu Congyi went to Fu and said, "Just now Qinxu announced the imperial intent, ordering me to consult with you and immediately advance this morning's memorial. Do not let Li Mian and Lu Han know."

今勉、翰不可在相位，即去之； If Li Mian and Lu Han ought not be in chief minister posts, then remove them;

時李勉、盧翰皆退罷居第，相謂曰：「吾輩方柳宜城，悉為拘俗之人也。」 At that time Li Mian and Lu Han had both retired and lived at their residences. They said to each other, "Compared with Liu of Yicheng, we are all people bound by convention."
