黃巢陷京師，天子出居成都，敬瑄遣黃頭軍部將李鋋鞏鹹以兵萬五千戍興平，數敗巢軍。
After Huang Chao seized the capital, the emperor withdrew to Chengdu. Chen Jingxuan sent Li Shen and Gong Xian of the Yellow Head Army with fifteen thousand men to hold Xingping, and they repeatedly routed Huang Chao’s forces.
仁厚還，天子禦樓勞軍，授仁厚檢校尚書左仆射、眉州刺史。
When Renhou returned, the emperor appeared on the palace tower to review and reward the troops, and appointed him Acting Left Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs and prefect of Meizhou.
仁厚問狀，對曰：「天子蒙塵，反者何獨我？」
When Renhou questioned him, he answered, “The Son of Heaven is driven into exile—why should I alone be called a rebel?”
仁厚檻車送行在，斬於市。
Renhou sent him in a prisoner cart to the emperor’s camp and had him beheaded in the marketplace.
敬瑄諷帝召師立以本官兼尚書右仆射，師立益怒，移檄言敬瑄十罪，殺監軍田繪，屯涪城，遣兵攻綿州，不克。
Jingxuan persuaded the emperor to recall Shili with his existing rank plus the post of Right Vice Director. Shili grew still angrier, circulated a manifesto listing ten crimes against Chen Jingxuan, killed the supervising commissioner Tian Hui, encamped at Fucheng, and sent troops against Mianzhou without success.
帝乃下詔削官爵。
The emperor then issued an edict stripping him of rank and office.
明日，會諸將，仁厚曰：「副使當以死報天子。」
The next day, at a council of generals, Renhou said, “A deputy who abandons his post ought to die for the Son of Heaven.”
仁厚約城中斬首惡者賞，君雄呼於軍曰：「天子所討，反者耳，吾等何與？」
Renhou offered rewards within the city for anyone who killed the ringleaders. Junxiong shouted to the troops, “The emperor is punishing rebels—what has that to do with us?”
君雄悉誅其家，獻首天子。
Junxiong put Shili’s entire family to death and sent his head to the emperor.
