既居樞要，又以盧元明代收為中書郎，由是收銜之。 Once he held a pivotal post, he also had Lu Yuanming replace Shou as secretariat gentleman — from this Shou bore a grudge.

㥄每以籍地自矜，謂盧元明曰：「天下盛門，唯我與爾，博崔趙李，何事者哉！」 Ling often prided himself on his registered pedigree and said to Lu Yuanming, "Among the great houses under Heaven, only you and I; the Bo, Cui, Zhao, and Li clans — what are they worth!"
