中官田令孜募新軍五十四都，餫轉不足，乃倡議兩池復歸鹽鐵使，而重榮不奉詔，至舉兵反，僖宗為再出，然而卒不能奪。 Eunuch Tian Lingzi raised fifty-four new army units but could not supply them. He urged returning the Two Ponds to the Salt and Iron Commissioner; Wang Chongrong refused, rebelled, and forced Emperor Xizong to flee the capital again, yet the court never regained the ponds.
