而漢高祖起太原，從益遣人召行周，將以拒漢，行周嘆曰：「衰世難輔，況兒戲乎！」 Han Gaozu rose from Taiyuan. Congyi sent for Xingzhou to hold off the Han army. Xingzhou sighed: “A dying house is hard to prop up—and this is child’s play!”

漢高祖入京師，加行周守中書令，徙鎮天平軍，封臨清王。 When Han Gaozu took the capital he made Xingzhou acting director of the Grand Secretariat, transferred him to Tianping, and enfeoffed him Prince of Linqing.

漢高祖即位，拜再榮為留後，遷義成軍節度使。 Han Gaozu confirmed him as acting governor, then made him military commissioner of Yicheng.

漢高祖入立，罷歸京師，自以常私附契丹，頗懷愧懼。 Han Gaozu recalled him to the capital. He had often courted the Khitan in secret and was deeply ashamed.
