會契丹回圖使喬榮北歸，侍衛親軍都指揮使景延廣謂榮曰：「先朝是契丹所立，嗣君乃中國自冊，稱孫可矣，稱臣未可。 When the Khitan envoy Qiao Rong was returning north, Palace Guard Commander Jing Yanguang told him, "Your court made our former emperor. This successor was enthroned by China itself. He may call himself your grandson, but not your subject.

使回，德光報曰：「但使桑維翰、景延廣自來，並割鎮、定與我，則可通和也。」 When the envoys returned, Deguang replied, "Peace is possible only if Sang Weihan and Jing Yanguang come in person and Zhen and Ding are ceded to me."
