Old History of the Five Dynasties, Chapter 118Volume 118 Book of Later Zhou 20: Shizong Annals 5 · 9 passages
及吳人遣鐘謨、李德明奉表至行在,帝尋遣德明復命於金陵,德明因說李景請割江南之地求和於我,而陳覺、李徵古等以德明為賣國,請戮之,景遂殺德明。 When the Wu people sent Zhong Mo and Li Deming to present a memorial at the field headquarters, the emperor soon sent Deming back to report at Jinling. Deming therefore urged Li Jing to cede Jiangnan territory and seek peace with the Zhou court. But Chen Jue, Li Zhenggu, and others regarded Deming as selling out the state and requested his execution, and Jing then killed Deming.
