父兗，為橫海軍節度判官。 His father Yan served as administrative aide to the military governor of the Henghai Army.

節度使劉守文與其弟守光以兵相攻，守文敗死，其吏民立其子延祚而事之，以兗為謀主。 The military governor Liu Shouwen and his younger brother Shouguang fought each other with troops. Shouwen was defeated and killed. His officials and people installed his son Yanzuo as ruler and made Yan their chief strategist.

已而延祚又為守光所敗，兗見殺。 Before long Yanzuo was defeated again by Shouguang, and Yan was put to death.

守光怒兗，並族其家。 Shouguang, enraged at Yan, exterminated his entire clan.

琦年十五，見執，將就刑，兗故客趙玉紿其監者曰：「此吾弟也。」 Qi was fifteen when he was seized and about to be executed. Zhao Yu, a former client of Yan, deceived the guard: "This is my younger brother."
