應順元年二月，潞王從珂反鳳翔，馳檄四鄰，言奸臣幸先帝疾病，賊殺秦王而立幼嗣，侵弱宗室，動搖藩方，陳己所以興兵討亂之狀。
In Yingshun’s first year, second month, Prince of Lu Congke rebelled at Fengxiang and circulated proclamations accusing treacherous ministers of murdering the Prince of Qin during the late emperor’s illness, enthroning a child, weakening the clan, and shaking the realm—and stating why he had taken arms.
是時，諸鎮皆懷向背，所得潞王書檄，雖以上聞，而不絕其使。
Every command wavered; they reported Congke’s letters to court yet kept his envoys coming.
獨思同執十十及從珂所使推官郝詡等送京師。
Only Sitong seized Shishi and Congke’s staff officer Hao Xu and sent them to the capital.
從珂兵弱而守甚堅，外兵傷死者眾，從珂登城呼外兵而泣曰：「吾從先帝二十年，大小數百戰，甲不解體，金瘡滿身，士卒固嘗從我矣。
Congke was weak but held firm; besiegers died in droves; he mounted the wall weeping: “Twenty years I followed the late emperor, hundreds of battles, armor never off, scars over my body—you marched with me!
羽林指揮使楊思權呼曰：「潞王，吾主也！」
Yulin commander Yang Siquan shouted, “The Prince of Lu is our lord!"
乃引軍自西門入降從珂。
He led his men through the west gate to surrender to Congke.
從珂引兵東，至昭應，前鋒追執思同。
Congke marched east; at Zhaoying his vanguard captured Sitong.
從珂責曰：「罪可逃乎？」
Congke reproached him: “Did you think your crime could escape?"
從珂愧其言，乃殺之。
Congke was shamed by his words and had him killed.
清泰二年，契丹數犯邊，廢帝以河東節度使石敬瑭兼大同、彰國、振武、威塞等軍蕃漢馬步軍都總管，屯於忻州，屯兵聚噪遮敬瑭呼「萬歲」，敬瑭斬三十餘人以止之。
In Qingtai’s second year Khitan raids multiplied; the Deposed Emperor made Shi Jingtang overall commander of the northern armies at Xinzhou; his troops mutinied, blocked him, and shouted “Long live!”; he beheaded thirty men to quell them.
廢帝疑敬瑭有異志，乃以敬達為北面副總管，以分其兵。
The Deposed Emperor suspected Jingtang and made Jingda deputy northern commander to split his force.
廢帝遣趙延壽、範延光等救之。
The Deposed Emperor sent Zhao Yanshou, Fan Yanguang, and others to relieve him.
