時晉州留後劉在明赴東京，朝於契丹，從朗知軍州事，帝方遣使張晏洪、辛處明等告諭登極，從朗囚之本城。 Liu Zaiming of Jinzhou had gone to the Eastern Capital to pay court to the Khitan, leaving Conglang in charge; when the emperor sent Zhang Yanhong and Xin Chuming to announce his accession, Conglang imprisoned them in the city.

大將藥可儔殺從朗於理所，州民相率害趙熙，三軍請晏洪為留後，處明為都監。 General Yao Keshou killed Conglang in the government hall; the townspeople killed Zhao Xi; the army then asked for Yanhong as acting governor and Chuming as chief supervisor.
