太祖迎奉昭宗，駐軍於岐下，道昭頻領騎士敢鬥戰，屢為王師所敗，遂來降。 When the Founder went to receive Zhaozong and camped below Qi, Daozhao led cavalry in repeated fierce charges, was beaten again and again by the imperial forces, and at last submitted.

昭宗反正，奏授秦州節度使、同平章事，遣兵援送，不克而還。 After Zhaozong's restoration he was named commissioner of Qinzhou and Associate Grand Councillor and sent to escort the emperor home, but failed and returned.
