太宗克太原，為殿中監，始知母亡，表求追服母喪，不許。 When Taizong took Taiyuan, Yun was made director of the palace directorate and only then learned his mother had died. He submitted a memorial asking to observe mourning for her belatedly, but permission was refused.

太原平，太宗以為將作監，遷太府卿，分司西京。 After Taiyuan fell, Taizong made him director of palace construction, then director of the grand storehouse, with a post in the Western Capital.
