天成四年，洙卒，即以洙子澄為朔方軍留後。 In Tiancheng 4 Zhu died; his son Cheng became acting commissioner of Shuofang.

其將李賓作亂，澄乃上章請師於朝，明宗以康福為朔方河西節度使以代澄，由是命吏而相代矣。 General Li Bin mutinied. Cheng begged the court for help. Mingzong sent Kang Fu to replace him as commissioner of Shuofang and Hexi—the Han line ended and imperial appointees took over.

韓氏自遜有靈武，傳世皆無所稱述，澄後不知其所終。 From Xun’s day at Lingwu the Hans left nothing worth a line in the histories. After Cheng, their fate is unknown.
