是時，契丹連歲入寇，晉氏疲於奔命，邊民被苦，幾無寧日，晉相桑維翰勸少帝求和於契丹，以紓國難，少帝許之，乃遣使奉表稱臣，卑辭首過。 The Khitan had raided year after year. The Jin court was exhausted, the border people knew no peace. Chancellor Sang Weihan urged the Young Emperor to sue for peace. He agreed and sent envoys with a humble memorial calling himself subject and confessing fault.

使回，德光報曰：「但使桑維翰、景延廣自來，並割鎮、定與我，則可通和也。」 When the envoys returned, Deguang replied, "Peace is possible only if Sang Weihan and Jing Yanguang come in person and Zhen and Ding are ceded to me."
