時母在鄉里，惲不知存亡，居常戚戚，但以弈棋沈飲為務，政事多廢。 His mother was still in the countryside, and Yun did not know whether she was alive or dead. He brooded constantly, devoting himself only to chess and heavy drinking while state affairs were largely neglected.

太宗克太原，為殿中監，始知母亡，表求追服母喪，不許。 When Taizong took Taiyuan, Yun was made director of the palace directorate and only then learned his mother had died. He submitted a memorial asking to observe mourning for her belatedly, but permission was refused.
