同光四年，趙在禮反於魏，元行欽討賊無功，莊宗欲自將討之，大臣皆諫以為不可，因言明宗可將。 Tongguang 4: Zhao Zaili rose in Wei. Yuan Xingqin could not break him. Zhuangzong meant to go himself; ministers begged him not to and named Mingzong instead.

是時，郭崇韜、朱友謙皆已見殺，明宗自鎮州來朝，處之私第，莊宗疑之，不欲遣也。 Guo Chongtao and Zhu Youqian were already dead. Mingzong came from Zhenzhou and was kept in a private house. Zhuangzong mistrusted him and would not send him out.

已而明宗至魏果反，全義以憂卒，年七十五，謚曰忠肅。 Mingzong reached Wei and turned rebel. Quanyi died of grief at seventy-five. They styled him Loyal and Solemn.
