延州節度使高允權奏，得都頭李彥、李遇等告：「太子太師致仕劉景巖與鄉軍指揮使高誌，結集草寇，欲取臘辰窺圖州城。 Gao Yunquan, military governor of Yan Prefecture, reported that commanders Li Yan and Li Yu had informed him: "Retired Grand Preceptor Liu Jingyan and militia commander Gao Zhi have gathered bandits and plan to seize the prefectural city on the year-end sacrifice.

尋請使臣與指揮使李勛，聊將兵士巡檢偵邏，劉景巖果出兵鬥敵，時即殺敗，其劉景巖尋獲，斬之。」 They then asked for an envoy and Commander Li Xun to lead troops on patrol; Liu Jingyan came out to fight, was defeated and killed, then captured and beheaded."

詔曰：「劉景巖年已衰暮，身處退閑，曾無止足之心，輒肆苞藏之毒，結集徒黨，窺伺藩垣。 An edict stated: "Liu Jingyan, though aged and in retirement, lacked restraint and harbored wicked designs, gathering followers and watching the frontier.

其劉景巖次男前德州刺史行琮已行極法，長男渭州刺史行謙、孫男邢州馬軍指揮使崇勛特放。」 Jingyan's second son, former prefect of De Prefecture Xingcong, has already been executed; his eldest son Xingqian, prefect of Wei Prefecture, and grandson Chongxun, cavalry commander of Xing Prefecture, are specially pardoned."
