唐廣明初，黃巢陷長安，讜遂得仕於其間。 Early in Guangming of Tang, when Huang Chao took Chang'an, Dang entered his service.

巢以讜為內樞密使，蓋讜曾委質於宦者，出入於宮禁間，巢以此用焉。 Chao made him inner privy commissioner, for Dang had once served eunuchs and knew the palace—Chao used him for that.

其後巢軍既敗，讜乃束身歸於太祖，署為左德勝騎軍都將。 After Chao's defeat Dang surrendered to the Founder and was made commander of the Left Victorious Virtue cavalry.
