宰相李宗閔以從裴度、李德裕所善，內不喜。 Chief Minister Li Zongmin disliked Cong inwardly because he was close to Pei Du and Li Deyu.

於是眾嘩語不平，宗閔懼，復授檢校尚書左僕射、淮南節度副大使，知節度事。 The public outcry was so loud that Zongmin grew alarmed and reappointed him acting left vice-director of the Department of State Affairs and vice commissioner of Huainan with control of the circuit.
