八月己丑，東京舍利軍詳穩大延琳囚留守駙馬都尉蕭孝先及南陽公主，殺戶部使韓紹勛、副使王嘉、四捷軍都指揮使蕭頗得，延琳遂僭位，號其國為興遼，年為天慶。
On jichou day of the eighth month Eastern Capital Sheli Army xiangwen Da Yanlin imprisoned regent imperial son-in-law commandant Xiao Xiaoxian and Nanyang Princess, killed Revenue Commissioner Han Shaoxun, deputy commissioner Wang Jia, and Four Expeditions Army commander-in-chief Xiao Piede; Yanlin then usurped the throne, called his state Xingliao, and took the era name Tianqing.

Therefore Yanlin seized the opportunity, first killing Shaoxun and Jia to satisfy his followers.

延琳知黃龍、保州皆不附，遂分兵西取沈州，其節度使蕭王六初至，其副張傑聲言欲降，故不急攻。
Yanlin knew that Huanglong and Ba Prefecture would not join him, so he divided his forces west to take Shen Prefecture; its military commissioner Xiao Wangliu had just arrived, and his deputy Zhang Jie declared he wished to surrender, so they did not press the attack.
時南、北女直皆從延琳，高麗亦稽其貢。
At the time both Southern and Northern Jurchen followed Yanlin, and Goryeo also delayed its tribute.
及諸道兵次第皆至，延琳嬰城固守。
When forces from all routes arrived in succession, Yanlin defended the city stubbornly.
