會朱守殷據汴州反，鎮州節度使王建立與安重誨不協，心懷怨嫉。 It happened that Zhu Shouyin held Bianzhou in rebellion. Wang Jianli, military governor of Zhenzhou, was at odds with An Chonghui and harbored resentment.

都陰知之，乃遣人說建立謀叛，建立偽許之，密以狀聞。 Du secretly learned of this and sent men to persuade Jianli to plot rebellion. Jianli falsely agreed and secretly reported the matter.

會唐明宗鎮其地，與部將王建立相善，明宗即位，建立領常山，奏饒為真定少尹。 When Emperor Mingzong of Tang governed the region, Rao was on good terms with the staff general Wang Jianli. After Mingzong took the throne, Jianli governed Changshan and recommended Rao as vice prefect of Zhending.

嘗因事趙郡，有平棘令張鵬者獻策，請建立於境內每縣所管鄉置鄉直一人，令月書縣令出入行止，饒乃導而薦焉。 On a mission to Zhao commandery he met Zhang Peng, magistrate of Pingji, who proposed that Jianli appoint one village overseer in every township under each county, with monthly reports on each magistrate's movements. Rao promoted the scheme.

建立行之彌年，詞訟蜂起，四郡大擾。 Jianli enforced the plan for a full year, lawsuits multiplied, and all four commanderies were thrown into turmoil.

天成末，王都構亂，陰使結建立為兄弟之國。 Late in the Tiancheng era Wang Du plotted rebellion and secretly sent envoys to win Jianli into a pact of allied states.

時饒又曾薦梁時右庶子張澄為判官，建立亦狎之。 Rao had also recommended Zhang Cheng, former right assistant to the heir apparent under Liang, as administrative aide, and Jianli was on familiar terms with him.

建立時密以王都之盟告之，澄與饒俱贊成其事，會王師圍中山，其事遂寢，而饒之兇戾如此。 Jianli secretly disclosed Wang Du's alliance to them, and both Cheng and Rao urged it on. When imperial troops besieged Zhongshan the plot came to nothing, but Rao's brutality and perversity were of this sort.

從賓敗，饒以王建立方鎮平盧，走投之，建立延入城，斬之以聞，聞者快焉。 When Congbin was defeated, Rao fled to Wang Jianli, who was then military governor of Pinglu. Jianli had him brought into the city, beheaded him, and reported it to court; all who heard of it were glad.
