年二十餘，依宋丹陽尹劉秉，秉誅後，事太祖文皇爲門下書佐。 Past twenty he served Song's Danyang administrator Liu Bing; after Bing's death he entered the founding Emperor Wen's gate as a Secretariat clerk.

太祖爲豫州刺史，以爲典籤，帶蒙令，居官稱職。 When the founding emperor held Yuzhou, he made Sengzhen Master of Documents and concurrent Magistrate of Mengling, and he performed well.

太祖遷領軍，補主簿。 When the founding emperor took command of the guards, Sengzhen became chief clerk.

妖賊唐瑀寇東陽，太祖率衆東討，使僧珍知行軍衆局事。 When the sorcerer rebel Tang Yu struck Dongyang, the founding emperor marched east and put Sengzhen in charge of the army's marching bureau.

僧珍宅在建陽門東，自受命當行，每日由建陽門道，不過私室，太祖益以此知之。 His home stood east of Jianyang Gate; from the day he was ordered out, his road passed the gate daily and never turned homeward, and the founding emperor prized him the more.
