光化三年，劉季述廢昭宗，幽之東宮，宰相崔胤謀反正，陰使人求義士可共成事者，德昭乃與孫承誨、董從實應胤，胤裂衣襟為書以盟。
In Guanghua 3 (900) Liu Jishu deposed Zhaozong and shut him in the Eastern Palace. Chancellor Cui Yin plotted to restore him and quietly sought men with the stomach for the work. Dezhao, Sun Chenghui, and Dong Congshi answered the call. Yin ripped his robe lining into oath strips.
天復元年正月朔，未旦，季述將朝，德昭伏甲士道旁，邀其輿斬之，承誨等分索餘黨皆盡。
On New Year’s Day of Tianfu 1 (901), before dawn, Jishu was riding to court. Dezhao hid swordsmen along the route, stopped his carriage, and cut off his head. Chenghui and the others ran down every accomplice and killed them to the last man.
已而承誨等悉取餘黨首以獻，昭宗信之。
Soon Chenghui and the others piled the rest of the rebel heads at the door. Zhaozong was convinced.
德昭破鎖出昭宗，禦丹鳳樓反正，以功拜靜海軍節度使，賜姓李，號「扶傾濟難忠烈功臣」，與承誨等皆拜節度使、同中書門下平章事，圖形淩煙閣，俱留京師，號「三使相」，恩寵無比。
Dezhao broke the locks and led Zhaozong out to Danfeng Tower, where the emperor took the throne again. Dezhao was made military commissioner of Jinghai, given the Li surname and the title "Loyal Martyr Who Rights the Fallen." Chenghui and the others became commissioners and chancellors too. Their faces went up in the Lingyan Pavilion. They all stayed in the capital as the "Three Commissioner-Chancellors," showered with honors such as the court had never given before.
冬十月，宦者韓全誨劫昭宗幸鳳翔，承誨、從實皆從，而德昭獨與梁，乃率兵衞胤及百官保東街，趣梁兵以西，梁太祖頗德其附己，以龍鳳劍、鬬鷄紗遺之。
In the tenth winter month eunuch Han Quanhui abducted Zhaozong to Fengxiang. Chenghui and Congshi went along, but Dezhao alone backed Liang. He marched to shield Cui Yin and the officials on East Street and pushed Liang's army west. Zhu Wen rewarded his loyalty with the dragon-phoenix sword and fighting-cock gauze.
承誨、從實至鳳翔，與宦者俱見殺。
Chenghui and Congshi reached Fengxiang and were killed along with the eunuchs.
