未浹旬，唐石敬瑭反於河東，為後唐張敬達所敗，亟遣趙瑩持表重賂，許割燕雲，求兵為援，契丹主曰：「我非為石郎興師，乃奉天帝敕使也。」）〉 Before ten days had passed, Tang's Shi Jingtang rebelled in Hedong, was defeated by Later Tang's Zhang Jingda, and urgently sent Zhao Ying with a memorial and heavy bribes, promising to cede Yan and Yun and seeking troops as aid. The Khitan ruler said, "I do not raise troops for Master Shi. I obey the Heavenly Emperor's command.".)〉
