是月，江南李景殺其臣偽太傅中書令宋齊丘、偽兵部侍郎陳覺、偽鎮南軍節度副使李徵古等。 That month Li Jing of Jiangnan killed his ministers the illegitimately styled Grand Preceptor and Chief Minister Song Qiqiu, illegitimately styled Vice Minister of War Chen Jue, illegitimately styled Pacifying South Army deputy military governor Li Zhenggu, and others.

初，帝之南征也，吳人大懼，覺與徵古皆齊丘門人，因進說於景，請委國事於齊丘，景繇是銜之。 Initially, when the emperor campaigned south, the Wu people were greatly afraid. Jue and Zhenggu were both disciples of Qiqiu and therefore urged Jing to entrust state affairs to Qiqiu. Jing thereby harbored resentment against him.

及吳人遣鐘謨、李德明奉表至行在，帝尋遣德明復命於金陵，德明因說李景請割江南之地求和於我，而陳覺、李徵古等以德明為賣國，請戮之，景遂殺德明。 When the Wu people sent Zhong Mo and Li Deming to present a memorial at the field headquarters, the emperor soon sent Deming back to report at Jinling. Deming therefore urged Li Jing to cede Jiangnan territory and seek peace with the Zhou court. But Chen Jue, Li Zhenggu, and others regarded Deming as selling out the state and requested his execution, and Jing then killed Deming.
