裴迪，字升之，河東聞喜人也。 Pei Di, courtesy name Shengzhi, came from Wenxi in Hedong.

唐司空裴璩判度支，辟為出使巡官。 When Pei Qu of the Works ran the Finance Commission he took Di as touring inspector.

都統王鐸鎮滑州，奏迪汴、宋、鄆等州供軍院使。 Wang Duo at Hua named him supply commissioner for Bian, Song, Yan, and the rest.

鐸為租庸使，辟租庸招納使。 When Duo became equalization commissioner he made Di his recruitment officer.

梁太祖鎮宣武，辟節度判官。 When Zhu Wen held Xuanwu he made Di his chief administrator.

太祖用兵四方，常留迪以調兵賦。 On every campaign the Founder left Di behind to move men and money.

太祖乃榜門，以兵事自處，而以貨財獄訟一切任迪。 He posted at the gate: war was the Founder’s business; money, grain, prisons, and suits were Di’s.

迪召公立問東事，公立色動，乃屏人密詰之，具得其事。 Di called Gongli in and asked about the east. Gongli’s face changed. Di sent the room empty and pressed him until the plot lay bare.

迪不暇啟，遣朱友寧以兵巡兗、鄆，以故師範雖竊發而事卒不成。 Di had no time for memorials. He sent Zhu Youning to patrol Yan and Yun. Shifan moved in secret but the plot failed.

太祖自岐還，將吏皆賜「迎鑾葉贊功臣」，將吏入見，太祖目迪曰：「葉贊之功，惟裴公有之，佗人不足當也。」 Returning from Qi the Founder gave every officer the title “Meritorious Supporter of the Imperial Progress.” At audience he fixed on Di: “That merit is Pei’s alone. The rest do not deserve the name.”

迪入唐，累遷太常卿。 Di took Tang rank and rose to Grand Minister of Ceremonies.
