筠在鎮擅用征賦，頗集亡命，嚐以私忿囚監軍使，世宗心不能堪，但詔責而已。 In his command Yun levied taxes on his own authority, gathered fugitives, and once imprisoned the army inspector in a private vendetta. Shizong was deeply displeased but issued only a reprimand.

筠曰：“吾周朝宿將，與世宗義同昆弟，禁衛皆舊人，聞吾之來，必倒戈歸我，況有儋珪槍、撥汗馬，何憂天下哉。” Yun replied: "I am a veteran of Zhou, sworn to Shizong like a brother. The palace guards are my old comrades — they will turn their spears to me at once. With Dan Gui's spear and Bo Han's horse, what have I to fear?"
