Mingzong’s host mutinied. Zhang Pobai of the horse guard led men to kill officers, burn the camp, and roar. Mingzong shouted: “More than ten years I have led you—what debt do I owe!
明宗涕泣諭之，亂兵環列而呼曰：「令公不欲帝河北，則佗人有之，我輩狼虎，豈識尊卑！」
Mingzong wept and pleaded. The mutineers ringed him shouting: “If you will not rule Hebei, another will! We are wolves—we know no lord from lackey!”

明宗即位，乃赦凝、韜，放歸田里，已而卒賜死。
Mingzong took the throne, amnestied Ning and Tao, and sent them home; later edict still gave them death.
朱守殷反，伏誅，彥威遣使者馳騎獻兩箭為賀，明宗賜兩箭以報之。
Zhu Shouyin rebelled and was executed. Yanwei sent a rider at full gallop with two arrows in congratulation; Mingzong returned two arrows.
明宗本出夷狄，而彥威武人，君臣皆不知禮，動多此類。
Mingzong came from barbarian stock; Yanwei was a soldier. Neither knew ritual; their acts were often like this.
是時，明宗方獵於近郊，青州馳騎奏彥威卒，明宗涕泣還宮，輟朝，仍終其月不舉樂，贈彥威太師，謚曰忠武。
Mingzong was hunting near the capital. Qingzhou sent riders with word of Yanwei’s death. Mingzong wept, returned to the palace, suspended court, and for the whole month held no music. They made him Grand Preceptor posthumously, styled Loyal and Martial.
