廣德初，仆固懷恩阻兵汾上，指中官為詞，上以遵慶忠純，特遣往汾州宣慰懷恩。 Early in the Guangde era Pugu Huai'en held his army on the Fen River and made the eunuchs his excuse for defiance. The emperor, trusting Zunqing's loyalty, specially dispatched him to Fen prefecture to reassure Huai'en on the court's behalf.

會蕃寇陷京師，乘輿幸陜，遵慶自汾州奔赴行在。 When Tibetan forces took the capital and the emperor fled to Shan, Zunqing hurried from Fen prefecture to join the court in exile.

及乘輿還京，以遵慶為太子少傅。 When the emperor returned to the capital, Zunqing was appointed junior tutor of the heir apparent.

時選人天興縣尉陳琯於銓庭言詞不遜，淩突無禮，代宗詔付遵慶於省門鞭三十，貶為吉州員外司戶參軍。 When a candidate named Chen Guan, county lieutenant of Tianxing, spoke insolently and behaved outrageously at the selection bureau, Emperor Daizong ordered Zunqing to have him flogged thirty times at the ministry gate and demoted him to outside registrar of Ji prefecture.

嘗為風狂族侄撾登聞鼓告以不順，上知遵度，不省，其見信如此。 Once a deranged kinsman beat the Denunciation Drum at the Gate of Imperial Audience and accused him of disloyalty. The emperor, knowing Zunqing's character, paid no heed—such was the trust he enjoyed.
