抱真子緘其子殿中侍御史緘匿喪，與其屬盧會昌元仲經謀，會諸將，仲經詭抱真令曰：「吾疾不任事，令緘典軍，勉佐之。」 Baozhen's son Jian, a Palace Attendant Censor, concealed his father's death. With his subordinates Lu Huichang and Yuan Zhongjing he assembled the generals; Zhongjing forged an order in Baozhen's name: "My illness prevents me from governing. Jian shall command the army—assist him faithfully."

會昌即為抱真表，翌日，令諸將署章，請以節付緘。 Huichang immediately sent a memorial in Baozhen's name; the next day he had the generals sign a petition asking that command be given to Jian.

使者趣延貴視事，護緘赴東都，仲經逃諸外，捕殺之，會昌得不坐。 The envoy pressed Yangui to take command and escorted Jian to the Eastern Capital. Zhongjing fled and was hunted down and killed; Huichang escaped punishment.
