唐莊宗入魏，以銀槍效節為親軍，與梁人對壘河上，暉以犒給稍薄，因竄入南軍，梁將王彥章置之麾下。 When Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang entered Wei, the Silver Spear Loyalty troops became his personal guard. Stationed opposite the Liang army along the Yellow River, Hui found the rewards and rations too meager and defected to the southern army. The Liang general Wang Yanzhang took him into his service.

莊宗平河南，暉首罪，赦之。 When Zhuangzong pacified Henan, Hui was the first to confess his crime and was pardoned.
