初事唐武皇，為鐵林都將，轉突騎、飛騎二軍使。 He first served Wuhuang of Tang as a commander of the Iron Forest Guard, then rose to command the Sudden Cavalry and Flying Cavalry armies.

建崇始自代北事武皇，至是四十餘年，前後所掌兵，麾下部曲多至節鉞，零落殆盡，惟建崇雖位不及藩屏，而康強自適，以至期耄。 Jianchong had followed Wuhuang from the northern frontier; by now more than forty years had passed; of the troops he had led, many subordinates had risen to military governorships and nearly all were gone—only Jianchong, though he never reached a frontier command, stayed hale and content even to great old age.
