明宗自鄴赴洛，遣使召之，習不時而至。 Mingzong marched from Ye to Luoyang and sent for him, but Fu Xi did not come at once.

既至，謁明宗於胙縣。 When he did arrive he presented himself to Mingzong at Zuo County.

霍彥威謂習曰：「主上所知者十人，公在其四，何猶豫乎！」 Huo Yanwei told him, "Of the ten men our lord knows, you are the fourth—why still hesitate?"

習乃從明宗入汴。 Fu Xi then followed Mingzong into Bian.

明宗即位，加兼侍中，令歸本鎮。 When Mingzong took the throne Fu Xi was made concurrent Palace Attendant and ordered back to his command.

明宗以其子令謙為趙州刺史。 Mingzong appointed his son Lingqian prefect of Zhao.
