時鎮州王鎔、定州王處直遣使請帝由井陘而西，許之。
Wang Rong of Zhen and Wang Chuzhi of Ding asked him to return west through Jingxing, and he consented.

On the wuxu new moon of the first month of Tianyou 11 Wang Rong, on the day of new shoes, feasted Cunxu with his sons Zhaozuo and Zhaohui, toasting his long life.
鎔啟曰：「燕主劉太師頃為鄰國，今欲挹其風儀，可乎？」
Rong asked, "Grand Tutor Liu was our neighbor—may I meet the man?"

Cunxu had their bonds struck off and brought Rengong and Shouguang to the table; Rong supplied them with clothes, bedding, food, and drink.

Rong had once bowed to Liang and been made Director-in-Chief; now Zhen and Ding, after Cunxu's southern victories and northern pacification, jointly pressed the title on him.
