樞密使範延光、趙延壽等議將，久不決，明宗怒甚，責延壽等，延壽等惶恐，欲以康義誠應選，崧獨曰：「太原，國之北門，宜得重臣，非石敬瑭不可也！」 The commissioners Fan Yanguang and Zhao Yanshou debated the appointment for a long time without deciding; Mingzong grew furious and rebuked them; in their alarm they were ready to nominate Kang Yicheng, but Song alone said, "Taiyuan is the empire's northern gate and needs a senior commander—no one but Shi Jingtang will do!"
