昭及薛南陽與右兵馬使梁崇義不葉相圖，為崇義所殺。 Li Zhao and Xue Nanyang quarreled with Right Army commander Liang Chongyi, who killed them.

朝廷授崇義節度使、兼御史中丞以代瑱。 The court made Liang Chongyi military governor and concurrent Censor-in-Chief in Zhen's place.

崇義瑱立祠，四時拜饗，不居瑱廳及正堂視事，於東廂下構一小室而寢止，抗疏哀請收葬，優詔許之。 Chongyi built a shrine to Zhen, sacrificed each season, would not sit in Zhen's hall, slept in an east-wing room, and begged leave to recover the body—the court assented.
