嗣本少事武皇，為帳中紀綱，漸立戰功，得補軍校。 Siben served the Martial Emperor from youth as a guard officer in his tent, gradually won distinction in battle, and was appointed a military cadet.

及武皇喪事有日，嗣本監護其事，改雲中防禦使、雲蔚應朔等州都知兵馬使，加特進、檢校太保。 When the Martial Emperor's funeral drew near, Siben supervised the arrangements. He was made defender of Yunzhong and overall commander of troops for Yun, Wei, Ying, Shuo, and other prefectures, with special advancement and the acting rank of Grand Guardian.
