德宗季年，天下方鎮副倅多自選於朝，防一日有變，遂就而授之節制。 In the late years of Dezong, many deputy officers of frontier military commissioners were chosen from the capital in advance, so that if trouble arose on a given day they could be sent at once and granted full command.

向已選為太原少尹，德宗召見喻旨，尋用為行軍司馬、兼御史中丞，改汾州刺史，轉鄭州。 Xiang had already been selected as vice prefect of Taiyuan; Dezong summoned him, explained his intent, and soon employed him as campaigning marshal and concurrent vice censor-in-chief, then changed him to prefect of Fen and transferred him to Zheng.
