秋七月，晉王率師自黃澤嶺東下，寇邢、洺，魏博節度使楊師厚軍於漳水之東。 In the seventh month the Prince of Jin marched east from Huangzeling against Xing and Ming; Yang Shihou of Weibo camped east of the Zhang.

魏博節度使楊師厚薨，輟視朝三日。 Yang Shihou of Weibo died; the court mourned three days without audience.

初，師厚握強兵，據重鎮，每邀朝廷姑息，及薨，輟視朝三日，或者以為天意。 Shihou had long held Weibo's armies and bullied the court for concessions; when he died and mourning closed court three days, some called it Heaven's judgment.

太祖屍未屬纊，師厚即肆陰謀。 Before Taizu's body was shrouded, Shihou was already scheming.

陛下不以此時製之，寧知後之人不為楊師厚耶！ Restrain them now, or the next man may be another Yang Shihou!
