及始興王叔陵為揚州刺史，引祠部侍郎阮卓為記室，辟貞為主薄，貞不得已乃行。 When the Prince of Shixing Shuling was made inspector of Yangzhou, he brought in vice director of the rites bureau Ruan Zhuo as recorder of the staff and summoned Zhen as chief clerk; Zhen had no choice but to go.

貞度叔陵將有異志，因與卓自疏於王，每有宴遊，輒辭以疾，未嘗參預，叔陵雅欽重之，弗之罪也。 Zhen judged that Shuling would harbor a rebellious intent and therefore, with Zhuo, kept themselves distant from the prince. Whenever there were feasts or outings he would plead illness and never take part. Shuling had long held him in esteem and did not blame him.

俄而高宗崩，叔陵肆逆，府僚多相連逮，唯貞與卓獨不坐。 Shortly Emperor Xuan died and Shuling committed outrage; many staff members were implicated and seized—only Zhen and Zhuo were not charged.
