是秋，明宗改封瓊華公主為福慶長公主，有司言前世公主受封，皆未出降，無遣使就藩冊命之儀。 That autumn Mingzong changed Princess Qionghua's title to Princess of Long Felicity. The officials noted that in earlier ages princesses had been enfeoffed before marriage and that no precedent existed for sending envoys to a husband's domain to confer the patent.

明宗下詔削奪知祥官爵，命天雄軍節度使石敬瑭為都招討使，夏魯奇為副。 Mingzong stripped Zhixiang of rank and office by edict and appointed Tianxiong military commissioner Shi Jingtang overall Pacification Commissioner with Xia Luqi as his deputy.

明宗憂之，以責安重誨。 Mingzong was deeply troubled and held An Chonghui responsible.

明宗謂致知祥等反，由重誨失策，及重誨死，乃遣西川進奏官蘇願、進奉軍將杜紹本西歸招諭知祥，具言知祥家屬在京師者皆無恙。 Mingzong held that Zhixiang's rebellion stemmed from Chonghui's misjudgment. After Chonghui's death he sent Western River memorial officer Su Yuan and tribute-army officer Du Shaoben west to win Zhixiang over, assuring him that all his kin in the capital were safe.
