值川、楚匪亂，投效松筠軍中，以談禪投所好，使易裝入賊寨說降，獎予七品官銜，洊擢襄陽知府。 When rebellion broke out in Sichuan and Hubei, he joined Songyun's army, won favor by preaching Chan, was sent in disguise into rebel camps to negotiate surrender, was given a seventh-rank title, and rose in succession to prefect of Xiangyang.

又龔鏜當鬆筠因諫東巡獲罪，密疏复陳，自庀身後事而後上，卒蒙寬宥。 When Gong Tang saw Songyun punished for opposing the eastern tour, he drafted a secret memorial, settled his affairs, and only then submitted it—and in the end was pardoned.
