武皇初起雲中，存璋與康君立、薛志勤等為奔走交，從入關，以功授國子祭酒，累管萬勝、雄威等軍。 When the Martial Emperor first rose in Yunzhong, Cunzhang, Kang Junli, Xue Zhiqin, and others were his trusted runners. He followed him through the passes and was made Libationer of the Imperial Academy for his service, later commanding the Wansheng, Xiongwei, and other armies in turn.

五年，武皇疾篤，召張承業與存璋授遺顧。 In the fifth year, as the Martial Emperor lay gravely ill, he summoned Zhang Chengye and Cunzhang to receive his deathbed instructions.

初，武皇稍寵軍士，籓部人多干擾廛市，肆其豪奪，法司不能禁。 The Martial Emperor had long indulged his troops. Frontier soldiers meddled in markets and plundered at will, and the courts could not stop them.
