徐州節度使李紹真、貝州刺史李紹英、齊州防禦使李紹虔、河陽節度使李紹奇、洺州刺史李紹能等上言，前朝寵賜姓名，今乞還舊。 Li Shaozhen, military commissioner of Xuzhou; Li Shaoying, prefect of Beizhou; Li Shaoqian, defense commissioner of Qizhou; Li Shaoqi, military commissioner of Heyang; Li Shaoneng, prefect of Mingzhou; and others memorialized that the previous dynasty had favored them by bestowing surnames and personal names, and they now begged to restore their old names.

內李紹虔上言：「臣本姓王，後移杜氏，蒙前朝賜今姓名，乞復本姓。」 Li Shaogian added, "I was born Wang, then Du; Zhuangzong gave me Li Shaogian—I ask to be Wang again."

李紹真復曰霍彥威，李紹英復曰房知溫，李紹虔復曰王晏球，李紹奇復曰夏魯奇，李紹能復曰米君立。 Li Shaozhen became Huo Yanwei, Li Shaoying Fang Zhiwen, Li Shaogian Wang Yanqiu, Li Shaoqi Xia Luqi, Li Shaoneng Mi Junli.

戊午，河陽節度使夏魯奇加檢校太傅，以貝州刺史房知溫為兗州節度使，以齊州防禦使王晏球為宋州節度使，以洺州刺史米君立為邢州節度使。 On wuwu, Xia Luqi, military commissioner of Heyang, was made acting Grand Preceptor; Fang Zhiwen, prefect of Beizhou, was made military commissioner of Yanzhou; Wang Yanqiu, defense commissioner of Qizhou, was made military commissioner of Songzhou; and Mi Junli, prefect of Mingzhou, was made military commissioner of Xingzhou.
