明宗乃以房知溫代習鎮平盧，拜公儼登州刺史。 Mingzong replaced Xi with Fang Zhiwen at Pinglu and made Gongyan prefect of Deng.

公儼不時承命，知溫擒而殺之。 Gongyan would not obey. Zhiwen took him and killed him.

明宗聞其名，擢拜河北道副招討使，領寧國軍節度使，代房知溫戍於盧臺軍。 Mingzong heard of him, made him deputy Hebei pacification commissioner and military governor of Ningguo, and sent him to Lutai in Fang Zhiwen’s place.
