太宗將討晉陽，召近臣宴，鋹預之，自言：「朝廷威靈及遠，四方僭竊之主，今日盡在坐中，旦夕平太原，劉繼元又至，臣率先來朝，願得執梃為諸國降王長。」 When Taizong prepared to attack Jinyang, he summoned his close ministers to a banquet at which Chang was present. Chang declared, "The court's authority reaches to the farthest corners — every usurping ruler in the realm is seated here tonight. Taiyuan will fall any day now, and Liu Jiyuan will follow. Your subject was the first to submit; let me lead the procession of surrendered kings with staff in hand."
