久之羽翼既多,遂自立門戸,結王鴻緒爲死黨,給事中何楷爲義兄弟,翰林陳元龍爲叔侄,鴻緒兄頊齡爲子女姻親,倶寄以心腹,在外招攬。 In time his followers multiplied; he founded a faction of his own. He bound Wang Hongxu to him as a die-hard ally, took He Kai, a supervising secretary, as a sworn brother, treated the Hanlin academician Chen Yuanlong as kinsman in a patron–nephew bond, and linked his children's marriages to Hongxu's elder brother Xuling. All became his trusted agents, recruiting backers throughout the empire.
