中尉楊玄價得君，而收與之厚，收之相，玄價實左右之； Commandant Yang Xuanjia had won the emperor's favor, and Shou was close to him; when Shou became chief minister, Xuanjia in fact guided him from behind;

乃招四方賕餉數千諉收，不能從，玄價以負己，大恚，陰加毀短。 He then summoned bribes and gifts from all quarters by the thousands to denounce Shou, but Shou would not go along; Xuanjia took it as a personal slight and was furious, secretly slandering him.
