廣德初，仆固懷恩阻兵汾上，指中官為詞，上以遵慶忠純，特遣往汾州宣慰懷恩。 Early in the Guangde era Pugu Huai'en held his army on the Fen River and made the eunuchs his excuse for defiance. The emperor, trusting Zunqing's loyalty, specially dispatched him to Fen prefecture to reassure Huai'en on the court's behalf.

遵慶既見懷恩，具陳朝旨，懷恩引過聽命，將隨遵慶朝謁，為副將範誌誠以邪說惑之，懷恩遂以懼死為詞。 When Zunqing met Huai'en he explained the court's position in full. Huai'en admitted his error and agreed to obey, and was preparing to accompany Zunqing to court—but his deputy Fan Zhicheng turned him with seditious counsel, and Huai'en then pleaded that he feared for his life.
