唐僖宗光啟三年，重榮為部將常行儒所害，推重榮弟重盈為蒲帥，以珂為行軍司馬。 In Guangqi 3 of Tang Xizong, Chongrong was killed by his officer Chang Xingru; they pushed Chongrong's younger brother Chongying as Pu commander and made Ke campaign deputy.

及重盈卒，軍府推珂為留後。 When Chongying died the army made Ke acting commissioner.

時重盈子珙為陝州節度使，瑤為絳州刺史，由是爭為蒲帥，瑤、珙連上章論列，又與太祖書云：「珂非吾兄弟，蓋餘家之蒼頭也，小字忠兒，安得繼嗣！」 At the time Chongying's son Gong was military governor of Shan Prefecture and Yao was prefect of Jiang Prefecture, so they competed for command of Pu. Yao and Gong repeatedly memorialized their arguments and also wrote to the Founder: "Ke is not our brother; he is another household's slave, with the childhood name Zhong'er. How can he inherit!"
