德宗末，方鎮之副，多自選於朝，以待有變，次授之，故向以選為太原少尹、行軍司馬，歷陜虢觀察使，以吏部尚書致仕。 Late in Emperor Dezong's reign deputies for frontier commands were often chosen from the capital to await emergencies and then assigned in turn; Xiang was thus selected as junior prefect of Taiyuan and campaigning chief military administrator, later served as regional inspector of Shan-Guo, and retired as minister of personnel.
