振東歸，太祖方在邢、洺，遽還於汴，大計未決，季述遣養子希度以唐之社稷欲輸於太祖，又遣供奉官李奉本、副介支彥勳詐齎上皇誥諭至，皆季述黨也。 Zhen returned east while the Founder was at Xing and Ming and hurried back to Bian before policy was fixed; Liu Jishu sent his adopted son Xidu to hand Tang's realm to him, and Palace Attendant Li Fengben and Vice Messenger Zhi Yanxun with forged retired-emperor edicts—all Jishu's men.

乃定策縶偽使李奉本、支彥勳與希度等，即日請振將命於京師，與宰相謀返正。 He bound the false envoys Li Fengben, Zhi Yanxun, and Xidu, and that day sent Zhen to the capital to work with the chancellors on restoring the throne.
