召吏部侍郎龍敏訪以機事，敏勸帝立東丹王讚華為契丹主，以兵援送入蕃，則契丹主有後顧之患，不能久駐漢地矣。 He summoned Long Min, Vice Minister of Personnel, to consult on urgent affairs. Min urged the Emperor to install the Prince of Eastern Dan, Zanhua, as Khitan ruler and send troops to escort him into the barbarian lands; then the Khitan ruler would have worries behind him and could not long remain in Han territory.

是東丹王實啟兵端，唐君臣或知其陰謀，故龍敏之說不行。」）〉 Thus the Prince of Eastern Dan had in fact opened hostilities; the Tang ruler and ministers may have known his secret plot; hence Long Min's proposal was not carried out.")
