黃巢起，太祖與存俱亡為盜，從黃巢攻廣州，存戰死。 When Huang Chao rebelled, Taizu and Cun both took to the hills; marching on Guangzhou under Chao, Cun was killed in battle.

居數歲，太祖背巢降唐，反以破巢，遂鎮宣武。 Within a few years Taizu deserted Chao for Tang, then turned and shattered Chao’s forces, and took the Xuanwu command.

太祖莫知其故，后曰：「朱二與汝俱從黃巢，獨死蠻嶺，其孤皆在午溝，汝今富貴，獨不念之乎？」 Taizu did not understand; the empress said: “Your brother Zhu the Second followed Huang Chao with you and died alone in the south; his children still live at Wugou—are you too grand now to remember them?”
