晉祖以其弟翰尚晉國長公主，故尤所註意。 Because Yi's younger brother Han had married the eldest princess of Jin, the Jin founder took special notice of him.

及安重榮稱兵於鎮州，晉祖以令溫為行營馬軍都指揮使，與都帥杜重威敗賊於宗城，以功授亳州防禦使，尋拜永清軍節度使。 When An Chongrong rebelled at Zhen Prefecture, the Jin founder made Lingwen commander of the campaign cavalry. With the supreme commander Du Chongwei he defeated the rebels at Zongcheng. For this he was made defense commissioner of Bo Prefecture and soon military governor of the Yongqing army.
