世宗征淮南，命通為京城都巡檢。 On Emperor Shizong's Huainan campaign, Tong was made chief inspector of the capital.

世宗以都城狹小，役畿甸民築新城，又廣舊城街道。 Finding the capital too cramped, Shizong pressed the metropolitan peasantry into building a new outer city and widening the old city's streets.

功未就，世宗幸淮上，留通為在京內外都巡檢、權點檢侍衛司。 The project was still unfinished when Shizong went south to the Huai. Tong remained in charge of security throughout the capital and served as acting inspector of the Palace Guard.

世宗幸壽春，為京城內外都巡檢。 While Shizong was at Shouchun, Tong again held chief inspection duties for the entire capital.

世宗將北征，命通與高懷德、張鐸先赴滄州，賜襲衣、金帶、鞍馬、器帛。 As Shizong prepared his northern campaign, he ordered Tong with Gao Huaide and Zhang Duo to proceed first to Cangzhou and granted them ceremonial robes, gold belts, saddles, horses, and gifts of silk and goods.
