本名懷玉，至是賜今名，遂有淄、青、齊、海、登、萊、沂、密、德、棣十州，與田承嗣、薛嵩、李寶臣、梁崇義輔牙相倚。 Born Huaiyu, he now received the name Zhengji by imperial grant. He came to control ten prefectures—Zi, Qing, Qi, Hai, Deng, Lai, Yi, Mi, De, and Di—and stood shoulder to shoulder with the buffer lords Tian Chengsi, Xue Song, Li Baochen, and Liang Chongyi.

嵩死，李靈耀反，諸道攻之，共披其地。 After Xue Song's death, Li Lingyao rose in revolt; the allied circuits besieged him and carved up his domain among themselves.
