彥威與安重誨勸明宗許之，乃擁兵入城，與在禮合，彥威獨不入。 Yanwei and An Chonghui urged Mingzong to agree. They hustled him into the city to join Zaili; Yanwei alone stayed out.

居二日，明宗復出，得彥威兵，乃之魏縣，謀欲還鎮州，彥威、重誨勸明宗以兵南向。 Two days later Mingzong came out, took Yanwei’s men, and went to Wei county, meaning to return to Zhenzhou. Yanwei and Chonghui urged him south with the army.

彥威素與段凝、溫韜有隙，因擅捕凝、韜下獄，將殺之，安重誨曰：「凝、韜之惡，天下所知，然主上方平內難，以恩信示人，豈公報仇之時？」 Yanwei had long hated Duan Ning and Wen Tao. He seized them on his own and threw them in prison to kill them. An Chonghui said: “Ning and Tao’s crimes are known to all—but the ruler has just ended civil war and means to show grace. Is this the hour for your revenge?”
