李澣、張沆、魚崇遠皆白衣在秦府，悉與上交友善。 Li Han, Zhang Hang, and Yu Chongyuan, all commoners at the Qin Palace, became his close friends.

自是出入門下者，當時名士有若張杭、高文蔚、何仲舉之徒，莫不分廷抗禮。 Thereafter the famous men who passed through his doors—Zhang Hang, Gao Wenwei, He Zhongju, and others—were all received as equals in his hall.

癸巳，以翰林學士、工部尚書張沆為禮部尚書。 On guisi, the Hanlin academician and Minister of Works Zhang Hong was appointed Minister of Rites.

沆卜葬先人，以內署無例乞假，乃上章請解職，以赴葬事，遂落職以遣之。 Hong was arranging burial for his forebears. Because the inner secretariat had no precedent for requesting leave, he submitted a memorial asking to resign his post to attend to the burial, and was removed from office and sent off.

以禮部尚書張沆復為翰林學士。 The Minister of Rites Zhang Hong was again appointed Hanlin academician.
