開平三年，奉使幽州，以門生鄭致雍從行，復命之日，又與致雍同受命入翰林為學士。 In Kaiping 3 (909) he was sent on a mission to Youzhou with his protégé Zheng Zhiyong as companion. On the day he reported back, both men were appointed Hanlin academicians.

致雍有俊才，舜卿雖有文辭，才思拙澀，及試五題，不勝困弊，因托致雍秉筆，當時譏者以為座主辱門生。 Zhiyong was brilliantly gifted. Shunqing had literary polish but slow, labored invention; when tested on five topics he was overwhelmed and asked Zhiyong to draft for him — contemporaries mocked it as a patron disgracing his protégé.
