德宗季年，天下方鎮副亻卒多自選於朝，防一日有變，遂就而授之節制。 Late in Emperor Dezong's reign, deputy commanders for the regional armies were often chosen in advance at court, so that if trouble arose they could immediately be given full military commission.

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 been selected as junior prefect of Taiyuan. Emperor Dezong summoned him, explained his intentions, and soon appointed him campaigning marshal and vice censor-in-chief, then prefect of Fen and later of Zheng.
