代宗初，仆固懷恩反，帝以遵慶忠厚大臣，故奉詔宣慰，懷恩聽命將入朝，既而為其將范志誠沮止。 Early in Emperor Daizong's reign Pugu Huai'en rebelled; the emperor, deeming Zunqing a loyal and sincere senior minister, sent him with an edict to console the rebels; Huai'en agreed to submit and was about to enter court, but was then blocked by his general Fan Zhicheng.

時帝在陜，遵慶脫身赴行在。 The emperor was then at Shan; Zunqing escaped and hastened to the mobile court.

帝還，遷太子少傅。 When the emperor returned to the capital, Zunqing was promoted to junior tutor of the heir apparent.

嘗有族子病狂易，告以謀反，帝識其謬，置不問。 Once a junior clansman, deranged by illness, accused him of plotting rebellion; the emperor recognized the absurdity and took no notice.
