○苗晉卿裴冕裴遵慶子向向子寅寅子樞=苗晉卿=苗晉卿，上黨壺關人。 This section covers Miao Jinqing, Pei Mian, and Pei Zunqing, together with Pei Xiang, Xiang's son Yin, and Yin's son Shu. Miao Jinqing was from Huguan in Shangdang.

裴冕，河東人也，為河東冠族。 Pei Mian was from Hedong and belonged to that region's leading clan.

冕雖無學術，守職通明，果於臨事，鉷甚委之。 Though Mian lacked scholarly training, he was clear-minded in office and decisive in action, and Hong relied on him heavily.

冕獨收鉷屍，親自護喪，瘞於近郊，冕自是知名。 Mian alone recovered Hong's body, personally conducted the funeral, and buried him in the suburbs; from that day his name was known.

玄宗幸蜀，至益昌郡，遙詔太子充天下兵馬元帥，以冕為御史中丞兼左庶子，為之副。 When Xuanzong fled to Shu and reached Yichang, he issued a distant edict making the heir apparent commander of all armies under heaven, with Mian as vice censor-in-chief and left subordinate of the heir as his deputy.

是時，冕為河西行軍司馬，授御史中丞，詔赴朝廷。 Mian was then campaigning marshal in Hexi; he received appointment as vice censor-in-chief and was ordered to court.
