當時有蘇景胤、張元夫，而虞卿兄弟汝士、漢公為人所奔向，故語曰：「欲趨舉場，問蘇、張； Su Jingyin and Zhang Yuanfu still mattered, but Yuqing's brothers Rushi and Hangong drew the crowds, so people said: "For the examination field, ask Su and Zhang;

子知退、知權、壇、堪、漢公，皆擢進士第，漢公最顯。 Sons Zhitui, Zhiquan, Tan, Kan, and Hangong all took the jinshi; Hangong shone brightest.

漢公，字用乂。 Hangong, style name Yongyi.

或劾漢公治荊南有貪贓，降秘書監。 Accused of graft in Jingnan, he was demoted to Secretariat Director.

於是，給事中鄭裔綽、鄭公輿共奏漢公冒猥無廉概，不可處近輔，三還制書。 Supervising Censors Zheng Yichuo and Zheng Gongyu then wrote that Hangong was brazen and corrupt, unfit for the inner court, and thrice returned the appointment edict.

漢公素結左右，有奧助。 Hangong had long cultivated palace eunuchs who backed him in secret.

會寒食宴近臣，帝自擊球為樂，巡勞從臣，見裔綽等曰：「省中議無不從，唯漢公事為有黨。」 At a Cold Food feast he played ball himself, greeted his intimates, and told Yichuo and the others: "You never oppose me except over Hangong—that is faction."

陛下為人子孫當精擇守長付之，漢公既以墨敗，陛下容可舉劇部私貪人？」 As his descendant you should choose governors carefully; Hangong is already stained by ink—can you give a major post to a known grafter for favor?"

漢公自同州更宣武、天平兩節度使，卒。 Hangong went from Tong to Xuanwu and Tianping as military commissioner and died.
