是歲，契丹改天顯十一年為會同元年，以趙延壽為樞密使，升幽州為南京，以趙思溫為南京留守，既而德光請晉高祖不稱臣，不上表，來往緘題止用家人禮，但云「兒皇帝」，晉祖厚賫金帛以謝之。 That year the Khitan proclaimed the Huitong era, made Zhao Yanshou Grand Councilor, elevated Youzhou to Southern Capital with Zhao Siwen as regent, and persuaded the Jin court to drop the language of vassalage. Their letters used family terms only, calling the Jin ruler "Son Emperor." The Jin founder paid lavish gifts in gratitude.
