太祖立，李筠據上黨，遣使降劉鈞，鈞自將兵至太平驛與筠會，遣宣徽使盧讚入潞州監筠軍。 When Taizu established the throne, Li Yun held Shangdang and sent envoys to submit to Liu Jun. Jun personally led troops to Taiping Post to meet Yun and dispatched palace secretariat commissioner Lu Zan into Luzhou to supervise Yun's army.

讚與筠不協，鈞遣融和解之。 Zan and Yun did not get along; Jun sent Rong to mediate between them.

會筠敗，融被擒，太祖責之曰：“汝何故勸劉鈞舉兵助李筠反耶？” When Yun was defeated, Rong was taken prisoner. Taizu rebuked him: "Why did you urge Liu Jun to raise troops and help Li Yun rebel?"

既而欲放融歸，令融先為書諭鈞，言俟周光遜等歸朝，即遣融去。 Later he wished to send Rong home and had Rong write first to Jun, saying that once Zhou Guangxun and the others returned to court, Rong would be sent back.

鈞得書久無報，乃授融太府卿，賜第京城。 Jun received the letter but for a long time gave no answer; Rong was then made director of the Grand Storehouse and given a residence in the capital.
