二年，遵頊使其太子德任來伐，德任諫曰：「彼兵勢尚強，不若與之約和。」 In the second year Zunxian sent his crown prince Deren to campaign against Jin. Deren remonstrated: "Their armies are still strong—we would do better to negotiate peace."

遵頊笑曰：「是非爾所知也。 Zunxian laughed and said: "That is beyond your understanding.

遵頊怒，幽之靈州，遣人代將，會天旱不果。 Zunxian was enraged, imprisoned him in Ling Prefecture, and sent another to command in his stead; drought intervened and the campaign did not take place.

是歲，遵頊傳位於子德旺。 That year Zunxian abdicated in favor of his son Dewang.

三年二月，遵頊死，七月，德旺死，嗣立者史失其名。 In the second month of the third year Zunxian died; in the seventh month Dewang died; the name of his successor is lost to history.
