事莊宗於太原，以謹愿稱，出入臥內，及長，以為親從指揮使。 He served Emperor Zhuangzong at Taiyuan and was known for prudence and sincerity. He had access to the inner bedchamber, and when he came of age was made commander of the personal guard.

入汴，遷散員指揮使。 When Zhuangzong entered Bian, Yanqing was transferred to commander of the scattered guards.

郭從謙之亂，莊宗左右皆引去，惟彥卿力戰，射殺十數人，俄矢集乘輿，遂慟哭而去。 During Guo Congqian's rebellion, all of Zhuangzong's attendants withdrew. Only Yanqing fought on, shooting down more than ten men. When arrows soon clustered about the imperial carriage, he wept bitterly and left.
