由是景進、王允平等於諸道采擇宮人，不擇良賤，內之宮掖。 As a result, Jing Jin, Wang Yunping, and others scoured the provinces for palace women, accepting anyone regardless of quality or background, and brought them into the inner quarters.

王允平等竟加營造，崇韜復奏曰：「內中營造，日有縻費，屬當災饉，且乞權停。」 Wang Yunping and his cohort went on building regardless. Guo Chongtao submitted another memorial: "Palace construction drains resources daily. With famine upon us, I beg that it be suspended for now."
