繼忠家於晉陽，楊氏所積餘貲猶巨萬，晉高祖自太原起兵，召契丹為援，契丹求賂，高祖貸於繼忠以取足。 Jizhong lived at Jinyang on Lady Yang's remaining fortune of tens of thousands; when Jin Gaozu marched from Taiyuan with Khitan aid, he borrowed from Jizhong to pay the Khitan bribe.

高祖入立，甚德之，以為沂、棣、單三州刺史，開運中卒。 Gaozu rewarded him with the prefectures of Yi, Di, and Shan; he died in the Kaiyun years.
