其子處瑾、處球秘不發喪，軍府內外，皆不知之，每日於寢宮問安。 His sons Chujin and Chuqiu concealed the death; inside and outside headquarters none knew, and each day they sent greetings to the bedchamber as if their father still lived.

處瑾與其腹心韓正時參決大事，同謀奸惡。 Chujin and his confidant Han Zhengshi decided major affairs together and plotted further treachery.

十九年三月，閻寶為處瑾所敗，莊宗以李嗣昭代之。 In the third month of the nineteenth year Yan Bao was defeated by Chujin, and Zhuangzong replaced him with Li Sizhao.

是時，處瑾危蹙日甚。 Chujin's situation grew more desperate by the day.

昭義軍節度判官任圜馳至城下，諭以禍福，處瑾登陴以誠告，乃遣牙將張彭送款於行台。 Ren Yuan, administrative aide of the Zhaoyi circuit, rode to the walls and explained the consequences; Chujin mounted the battlements in apparent sincerity and sent his officer Zhang Peng to offer surrender to headquarters.

是夜，趙將李再豐之子衝投縋以接王師，故諸軍登城，遲明畢入，獲處瑾、處球、處琪，並其母及同惡人等，皆折足送行台，鎮人請醢而食之。 That night Li Zaifeng's son Chong lowered a rope to admit the imperial army; the troops scaled the walls and by dawn had taken the city. Chujin, Chuqiu, Chuqi, their mother, and their accomplices were captured, their legs broken, and sent to headquarters; the townspeople begged that they be minced for food.
