是時，晉高祖鎮河東，有二誌，廢帝患之，琦與李崧俱備顧問，多所裨畫。 At that time Gaozu of Jin held Hedong with divided loyalties, which troubled Emperor Fei. Qi and Li Song both served as his advisers and offered much useful counsel.

其後晉高祖起太原，果引契丹為助，遂以亡唐。 Later, when Later Jin's Gaozu rose in Taiyuan, he did indeed enlist Khitan aid, and Tang was thereby overthrown.
