唐莊宗即位，拜昫太常博士，以為翰林學士，明宗時，累遷兵部侍郎居職。 When Zhuangzong of Tang ascended the throne, Xu was appointed erudite of the Court of Ceremonies and made Hanlin Academician. In Mingzong's reign, he was repeatedly promoted until he held office as Vice Minister of War.

明宗素重昫而愛其風韻，遷端明殿學士。 Mingzong had always valued Xu and admired his bearing and refinement, and promoted him to Academician of the Duanming Hall.

初，明宗崩，太常卿崔居儉以故事當為禮儀使，居儉辭以祖諱蠡。 When Emperor Mingzong died, Cui Jujian, director of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, should by precedent have become commissioner of rites, but he declined because his grandfather's taboo name was Li.
