守光不悅，及梁軍據深、冀，王镕乞師於守光，孫鶴勸守光出援軍以圖霸業，守光不從。 Shouguang took offense. When Liang forces held Shen and Ji, Wang Rong begged Shouguang for aid; Sun He urged him to march out and seize his chance at hegemony, but Shouguang refused.

莊宗乃與鎮州節度使王镕、易定節度使王處直、昭義節度使李嗣昭、振武節度使周德威、天德軍節度使宋瑤，同遣使奉冊，推守光為尚父，以稔其惡。 Emperor Zhuangzong then joined Wang Rong of Zhenzhou, Wang Chuzhi of Yiding, Li Sizhao of Zhaoyi, Zhou Dewei of Zhenwu, and Song Yao of Tiande in sending envoys to invest Shouguang as Imperial Father—a stratagem to ripen his folly.
