明宗時，秦王從榮為河東節度使，以馮赟為副，思權為北京步軍都指揮使以佐佑之。 Under Mingzong, Prince of Qin Congrong held Hedong; Feng Yun was his deputy and Siquan metropolitan infantry commander of the Northern Capital to support him.

明宗陰遣人從容語從厚之善，以諷勉之。 Mingzong secretly had men speak gently of Conghou’s virtues to admonish and encourage Congrong.

明宗召思權還京師，以從榮故，亦不之責也。 Mingzong recalled Siquan to the capital; for Congrong’s sake he did not punish him.
