景福二年春，匡威率精騎數萬，再來赴援，會匡威弟匡儔奪據兄位，匡威退無歸路，鎔乃延入府第，館於寶壽佛寺。 In the spring of the second year of Jingfu, Kuangwei led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to aid Rong once more. His younger brother Kuangchou had meanwhile seized his place, leaving Kuangwei nowhere to return. Rong therefore welcomed him into his mansion and lodged him at Baoshou Buddhist Temple.

燕王歸國，比及境上，為其弟匡儔所拒，趙人以其有德於我，遂營東圃以居之。 On his return the Prince of Yan was blocked at the border by his brother Kuangchou. Because the Zhao people felt indebted to him, they built the Eastern Garden for his residence.

李匡威為王鎔所殺，鎔書報其弟匡儔。 When Li Kuangwei was killed by Wang Rong, Rong sent a written report to Kuangchou, his brother.

匡儔遣使於鎔，問謀亂本末，幕客為書，多不如旨。 Kuangchou sent a messenger to Rong to ask how the conspiracy had unfolded; several secretaries drafted replies, yet most missed what he wanted.
