昭宗還長安，拜友倫寧遠軍節度使。
When Zhaozong went back to Chang’an, Youlun was made military governor of Ningyuan.
太祖東歸，留友倫宿衛，伺察昭宗所為。
Taizu left for the east and stationed Youlun in the palace to spy on the emperor’s every move.
昭宗涕泣，不知所為，將奔太原，不果。
Zhaozong wept in despair; he meant to flee to Taiyuan but never managed it.
宰相崔胤遣人止太祖，太祖以為友倫胤等殺之，奏請誅胤等，昭宗未從，乃遣友諒至京師，以兵圍開化坊，殺胤及京兆尹鄭元規、皇城使王建勛、飛龍使陳班、閣門使王建襲、客省使王建乂、前左僕射張浚。
Cui Yin sent envoys to halt him, but Taizu was convinced that Yin and his circle had murdered Youlun. He demanded their deaths; Zhaozong refused. Taizu then sent Youliang to the capital with troops, invested Kaihua Ward, and killed Yin, Zheng Yuangui, Metropolitan Prefect of Jingzhao, Wang Jianxun of the Imperial City, Chen Ban of the Flying Dragon Office, Wang Jianxi of the Gate Office, Wang Jianyi of the Reception Office, and the former Left Vice Director Zhang Jun.
