先是，桑維翰免樞密之務，以劉處讓代之，奏議多不稱旨，及處讓丁母憂，遂以密院印付中書，故密院廢焉。 Earlier, Sang Weihan had been relieved of military affairs duties and Liu Churang replaced him, but their memorials often failed to please the emperor. When Churang entered mourning for his mother, the bureau's seal was handed to the Secretariat, and the Bureau of Military Affairs was abolished.

壬申，以中書侍郎平章事、集賢殿大學士桑維翰為檢校司空、兼侍中、相州彰德軍節度使，以彰德軍節度使王庭允為義武軍節度使。 On the renshen day, Sang Weihan, grand councilor and grand academician of the Hall for Assembling the Worthy, was appointed acting minister of works, concurrent palace attendant, and military governor of the Zhangde Army at Xiang Prefecture; Wang Tingyun, military governor of the Zhangde Army, was transferred to military governor of the Yiwu Army.

辛巳，相州節度使桑維翰上言：「管內所獲賊人，從來籍沒財產，請止之。」 On the xinsi day, Sang Weihan, military governor of Xiang Prefecture, submitted: "Within my jurisdiction the property of captured bandits has always been confiscated; I ask that this practice be stopped."
