與晉高祖連姻，高祖時，已為護聖右廂都指揮使、曹州刺史。 He was connected by marriage to Gaozu of Jin. During Gaozu's reign he already held command of the right wing of the Imperial Guard and the governorship of Cao Prefecture.

子逃至齊州，州捕送京師，高祖以歸彥澤。 His son fled to Qizhou. The prefecture captured him and sent him to the capital, and Gaozu returned him to Yanze.

高祖不得已，與之。 Gaozu had no choice and surrendered Shi to him.

高祖遣王周代彥澤，以為右武衛大將軍。 Gaozu sent Wang Zhou to replace Yanze and demoted Yanze to general of the Right Martial Guard.

濤見高祖切諫，高祖曰：「彥澤功臣，吾嘗許其不死。」 Tao saw Gaozu and remonstrated forcefully. Gaozu said, "Yanze is a meritorious minister. I once promised he would not die."

高祖怒，起去，濤隨之諫不已，高祖不得已，召式父鐸、弟守貞、子希範等，皆拜以官，為蠲涇州民稅，免其雜役一年，下詔罪己，然彥澤止削階、降爵而已。 Gaozu was angry, rose, and left. Tao followed and kept remonstrating. Gaozu had no choice. He summoned Shi's father Duo, brother Shouzhen, son Xifan, and the others and invested them all with offices. He remitted the taxes of the people of Jing Prefecture and exempted them from corvée for one year, and issued an edict blaming himself. Yet Yanze was merely reduced in rank and demoted in title.
