癸巳，鄴都軍將趙在禮反於貝州。 On guisi, Zhao Zaili, an officer of the Yedu army, rebelled at Beizhou.

趙在禮陷鄴都，武寧軍節度使李紹榮討之。 Zaili seized Yedu; Li Shaorong of Wuning marched against him.

甲辰，成德軍節度使李嗣源討趙在禮。 On jiachen, Li Siyuan of Chengde took the field against Zhao Zaili.

反者皆不書日，獨在禮書日，推迹其心可知爾。 Rebels are usually not dated by day; Zhao Zaili alone is, and his motives explain why.

蓋在禮初無亂心，以是日見迫而反爾。 At first he had no intent to rebel, and only rose because he was forced on that day.
