暕頗驕恣，昵近小人，所行多不法，遣喬令則、劉虔安、裴該、皇甫諶、庫狄仲錡、陳智偉等求聲色狗馬。 Zheng was arrogant and willful, intimate with petty men; much of what he did was unlawful. He sent Qiao Lingze, Liu Qian'an, Pei Gai, Huangfu Chen, Kudi Zhongqi, Chen Zhiwei, and others to seek music, women, dogs, and horses.

令則等因此放縱，訪人家有女者，輒矯暕命呼之，載入暕宅，因緣藏隱，恣行淫穢，而後遣之。 Lingze and the others therefore ran wild; wherever they found a household with a daughter, they would forge Zheng's order to summon her, carry her into his residence, hide her by various pretexts, indulge in debauchery at will, and only then send her away.

陰引喬令則於第內酣宴，令則稱慶，脫暕帽以為歡樂。 He secretly brought Qiao Lingze into the residence for a drunken feast; Lingze offered congratulations and removed Zheng's cap in celebration.

至是，事皆發，帝大怒，斬令則等數人，妃姊賜死，暕府僚皆斥之邊遠。 At this point all the matters came to light; the emperor was greatly angered, executed Lingze and several others, ordered the consort's sister to take her own life, and banished all of Zheng's staff to the distant frontier.
