田季安疾甚，吉甫請任薛平為義成節度使，以重兵控邢、洺，因圖上河北險要所在，帝張於浴堂門壁，每議河北事，必指吉甫曰：「朕日按圖，信如卿料矣。」 When Tian Ji'an fell gravely ill, Jifu asked that Xue Ping be appointed military commissioner of Yicheng with strong forces to control Xing and Ming; he also submitted a map of strategic points in Hebei; the emperor posted it on the wall of the Bath Hall; whenever Hebei affairs were discussed he would point to Jifu and say, "I consult this map daily—it is exactly as you predicted."
