思敬卒，乾寧二年，以其弟思諫為節度使。 Sijing died. In Qianning 2 his brother Sijian succeeded him at Xia.

梁開平二年，思諫卒，軍中立其子彜昌為留後，梁即拜彜昌節度使。 In Liang Kaiping 2 Sijian died. The troops made his son Yizichang acting commissioner, and Liang confirmed him.

是時，仁福為蕃部指揮使，戍兵於外，軍中乃迎仁福立之，不知其於思諫為親疏也。 Renfu was then a tribal commandant on frontier duty. The garrison brought him in and made him ruler; no one knew how he stood to Sijian.
