光启元年，河中王重荣与宦者田令孜有隙，徙重荣兖州，以定州王处存为河中节度使，诏克用以兵护处存之镇。 In Guangqi 1 (885) Wang Chongrong of Hezhong clashed with the eunuch Tian Lingzi. Chongrong was ordered to Yanzhou and Wang Chucun of Dingzhou was named military governor of Hezhong; Keyong was told to march troops escorting Chucun into the circuit.

重荣使人绐克用曰：「天子诏重荣，俟克用至，与处存共诛之。」 Chongrong sent an agent to trick Keyong: “The emperor has instructed me that once you arrive, Chucun and I are to kill you together.”
