從璟馳至衛州，為元行欽所執，將殺之，從璟呼曰：「我父為亂軍所逼，公等不亮其心，我亦不能至魏，願歸衛天子。」 Congjing raced to Weizhou, was seized by Yuan Xingqin, and faced execution; he cried: “Mutineers force my father; you do not see his heart—I cannot reach Wei; let me return to serve the Son of Heaven.”

行欽釋之。 Xingqin let him go.

行欽以為不可，遂殺之。 Xingqin forbade it and had him killed.
