竇參當國，欲抑為刺史，帝不許。 While Dou Can held power he tried to have Jing reduced to a prefect, but the emperor refused.

參罷，進中書侍郎、同中書門下平章事，與陸贄同輔政。 After Can was dismissed, Jing was promoted to Vice Director of the Secretariat and Co-equal Director of the Secretariat-Chancellery, sharing governance with Lu Zhi.
