時鎔故將符習為汴州節度使,會昭誨來投,即表其事曰:「故趙王王鎔小男昭誨,年十餘歲遇禍,為人所匿免,今尚為僧,名崇隱,謹令赴闕。」 At that time Rong's former general Fu Xi was military governor of Bianzhou. When Zhaohui came to seek refuge, he memorialized: "The late Prince of Zhao Wang Rong's younger son Zhaohui, barely in his teens when disaster struck, was hidden and spared. He is still a monk named Chongyin, and I respectfully send him to court."
