置百官，以楊洞潛為兵部侍郎，李衡禮部侍郎，倪曙工部侍郎，趙光胤兵部尚書，皆平章事。 He established a full bureaucracy, appointing Yang Dongqian Vice Minister of War, Li Heng Vice Minister of Rites, Ni Shu Vice Minister of Works, and Zhao Guangyin Minister of War — all as Fellows of the Secretariat.

龑初欲僭號，憚王定保不從，遣定保使荊南，及還，懼其非己，使倪曙勞之，告以建國。 When Yan first wished to declare himself emperor he feared Wang Dingbao would not consent, and sent Dingbao as envoy to Jingnan. When Dingbao returned, Yan feared he would not approve and had Ni Shu welcome him and inform him that the state had been founded.
