唐莊宗平梁，以例貶復州司馬，歲餘牽復，授左散騎常侍，歷兵吏部侍郎、尚書左丞。 When Tang Zhuangzong conquered Liang, Yi was demoted under precedent to military adjutant of Fuzhou. After a year he was recalled and made Left Regular Attendant, then served as vice minister of war, vice minister of personnel, and left vice director of the Department of State Affairs.

唐天祐中，莊宗方開霸府，翹佇賢士，墨制授琦代州軍事判官，秩滿歸太原，監軍使張承業重琦器量，禮遇尤厚。 During the Tang Tianyou era Zhuangzong was establishing his headquarters and eagerly sought talented men. By special edict he appointed Qi military adjutant of Daizhou. When his term ended Qi returned to Taiyuan, where Army Supervisor Zhang Chengye admired his character and treated him with exceptional regard.
