辛酉，閻寶上言，定州節度使王處直為其子都幽於別室，都自稱留後。 On xinyou Yan Bao reported that Wang Chuzhi of Ding had been shut up by his son Du, who called himself acting commissioner.

〈（《歐陽史》：王處直叛附於契丹，其子都幽處直以來附。）〉 (The 《Ouyang History》 says Chuzhi rebelled to the Khitan while Du locked up his father and submitted to Jin.)〉

又寇定州，王都遣使告急，帝自鎮州率五千騎赴之。 He pressed Ding as well; Du cried for help, and Cunxu rode from Zhen with five thousand horse.
