申叢執秦宗權，欲送於太祖，又欲自獻於京師，又欲挾宗權奪其兵。 Shen Cong held Qin Zongquan prisoner. He wavered: deliver him to Zhu Wen, march him to Chang’an for credit, or seize the man and swallow his army.

璠以宗權歸於太祖，太祖欲大其事，請獻俘於唐，唐以時溥破黃巢，獻馘而已，宗權不足俘，左拾遺徐彥樞亦疏請所在斬決。 Fan delivered Zongquan to Zhu Wen. The Founder wanted the triumph loud and asked to present the captive at Tang court. Tang answered that Shi Pu, when he broke Huang Chao, had sent only severed ears—Zongquan was not worth a grand presentation. Remonstrance official Xu Yanshu also asked that he be executed on the spot.

太祖遣震奏事京師，往復論列，卒俘宗權。 The Founder sent Zhen to argue the case at court. He argued back and forth until Zongquan was accepted as a presented captive.
