三月，唐潞王舉兵於鳳翔，湣帝遣王思同等討之，思同兵潰，山南西道節度使張虔釗、武定軍節度使孫漢韶皆以其地附於蜀。 In the third month the Tang Prince of Lu rebelled at Fengxiang. Emperor Min sent Wang Sitong against him, but Sitong's army collapsed. Southern Mountain Western Circuit commissioner Zhang Qianzhao and Martial Settlement commissioner Sun Hanshao both submitted their territories to Shu.

六月，虔釗等至成都，知祥宴勞之，虔釗奉觴起為壽，知祥手緩不能舉觴，遂病，以其子昶為皇太子監國。 In the sixth month Qianzhao and the others reached Chengdu, where Zhixiang feasted them. Qianzhao rose with a cup to toast his health, but Zhixiang's hand trembled and he could not raise his cup. He fell ill and made his son Chang crown prince regent.
