粵俗嗜博，闈姓害尤烈，疏請禁止，報可，而總督英翰曲徇商人請，弛其禁，兆棟劾之，落職，遂兼攝總督事，禁益嚴，終其任，粵吏無敢言闈姓者。 Guangdong was addicted to gambling, and the examination-surname lottery was especially ruinous. He memorialized for a ban and won approval, but Governor Yinghan bent to the merchants and relaxed it. Zhaodong impeached him, Yinghan was dismissed, and Zhaodong took over as acting governor. The ban was enforced more strictly than ever, and for the rest of his term no Guangdong official dared mention the lottery again.
