全義監軍嘗得李德裕平泉醒酒石，德裕孫延古，因托全義復求之。 His army supervisor had taken Li Deyu’s Pingquan sobering stone. Deyu’s grandson Yan’gu asked Quanyi to get it back.

全義嘗在巢賊中，以為譏己，固大怒，奏笞殺監軍者，天下冤之。 Quanyi had ridden with Chao once and heard an insult. He raged, had the man flogged to death, and the realm cried foul.

最後全義力以為言，莊宗乃從。 only when Quanyi spoke hard for it did Zhuangzong yield.

已而明宗至魏果反，全義以憂卒，年七十五，謚曰忠肅。 Mingzong reached Wei and turned rebel. Quanyi died of grief at seventy-five. They styled him Loyal and Solemn.

而宰相桑維翰以其父珙嘗事全義有恩，乞全活之，不許，止誅繼祚及其妻子而已。 Chancellor Sang Weihan’s father Gong had served Quanyi well; he begged mercy for the clan. Denied—but only Jizu, his wife, and children died.
