Old History of the Five Dynasties, Chapter 132Volume 132: Biographies of Descendents 1: Li Maozhen, Gao Wanxing, Han Xun, Li Renfu · 5 passages
乾寧二年五月,茂貞與王行瑜、韓建稱兵入覲,京師震恐,天子禦樓待之,抗表請殺宰相韋昭度、李谿以謝天下,移王珙於河中。 In the fifth month of the second year of Qianning, Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian marched on the capital for an audience; terror gripped the city as the emperor mounted the tower to receive them; they submitted defiant memorials demanding the execution of chief ministers Wei Zhaodu and Li Xi to appease the realm and the transfer of Wang Gong to Hezhong.
是歲七月,太原之師至河中,繼鵬與中尉景宣之子繼晟迫車駕幸鳳翔,昭宗曰:「太原軍未至,鑾輿不可輒動,朕與諸王固守大內,卿等安輯京師,如太原實至,吾可以方略制之。」 That seventh month the Jin army reached Hezhong; Jipeng and the eunuch Jing Xuan's son Jisheng tried to force the court to flee to Fengxiang; Zhaozong said: "The Jin army has not yet arrived; the imperial carriage must not be moved lightly. I and the princes will hold the inner palace while you restore order in the capital; if Jin forces truly come, I have a plan to deal with them."
