會御史大夫敬括卒，即召棲筠與河南尹張延賞，擇可為大夫者。 When Censor-in-Chief Jing Kuo died, the emperor summoned Qiyun and Zhang Yanshang, Intendant of Henan, to decide who should succeed him.

延賞先至，遂代括。 Yanshang arrived first and was appointed in Kuo's place.

會李少良、陸珽等上書劾載陰事，詔御史問狀，延賞稱疾，不敢鞫，少良、珽覆得罪死。 When Li Shaoliang, Lu Ting, and others memorialized accusing Zai of secret wrongdoing, an edict ordered the Censorate to investigate; Yanshang pleaded illness and dared not conduct the inquiry, and Shaoliang and Ting were in turn condemned and put to death.

帝殊失望，出延賞為淮南節度使，引拜棲筠為大夫。 The emperor was deeply disappointed, posted Yanshang out as military commissioner of Huainan, and summoned Qiyun to be appointed censor-in-chief.
