知祥兼據兩川，以趙季良為武泰軍留後、李仁罕武信軍留後、趙廷隱保寧軍留後、張業寧江軍留後、李肇昭武軍留後。 Holding both circuits, Zhixiang appointed Zhao Jiliang acting regent of the Martial Grand Army, Li Renhan of the Martial Faith Army, Zhao Tingyin of the Tranquil Preservation Army, Zhang Ye of the Tranquil River Army, and Li Zhao of the Illustrious Martial Army.

季良等因請知祥稱王，以墨制行事，議未決而瑰至蜀。 Jiliang and the others urged Zhixiang to declare himself king and govern by informal imperial writ, but the matter was still undecided when Gui reached Shu.

九月，瑰自蜀還，得知祥表，請除趙季良等為五鎮節度，其餘刺史已下，得自除授。 In the ninth month Gui returned from Shu with Zhixiang's memorial asking that Zhao Jiliang and the others be made military commissioners of the five armies and that all appointments from prefect downward be left to his own discretion.

遣工部尚書盧文紀冊封知祥為蜀王，而趙季良等五人皆拜節度使。 Minister of Works Lu Wenji was dispatched to invest Zhixiang as King of Shu, and Zhao Jiliang and the other four were all appointed military commissioners.

以趙季良為司空、同中書門下平章事，中門使王處回為樞密使，李昊為翰林學士。 He made Zhao Jiliang Minister of Works and Associate Director of the Secretariat, Inner Gate Commissioner Wang Chuhui Chief Palace Secretary, and Li Hao Hanlin Academician.
