晉開運末，以周密為延帥，延有東西二城，其中限以深澗。 Near the end of the Jin Kaiyun reign Zhou Mi was made military governor of Yan. Yan had eastern and western cities separated by a deep ravine.

及契丹入汴，一日，州兵亂，攻密，密固守東城。 When the Khitans entered Bian, the prefectural troops mutinied one day and attacked Mi, who held firm in the eastern city.

是夜未曙，允權方寢，亂軍排闥，請知留後事，遂居於西城，與密相拒數日。 That night before dawn, while Yunquan was still asleep, the mutineers burst in and asked him to serve as acting regent. He took up residence in the western city and confronted Mi for several days.

河東遣供奉官陳光穗宣撫河西，允權乃遣支使李彬奉表太原，周密棄東城而去。 Hedong sent the tribute commissioner Chen Guangsu to pacify Hexi. Yunquan sent his staff officer Li Bin to submit a memorial at Taiyuan, and Zhou Mi abandoned the eastern city and fled.

允權與夏州李彜興不協，其年李守貞據河中叛，密構彜興為援，及朝廷用兵夏州，軍逼延州，允權上章論列，彜興亦紛然自訴，朝廷賜詔和解之。 Yunquan was on bad terms with Li Yiyin of Xiazhou. That year Li Shouzhen rebelled at Hezhong and secretly enlisted Yiyin as an ally. When the court campaigned against Xiazhou and the army pressed Yanzhou, Yunquan submitted a memorial of protest and Yiyin lodged complaints as well. The court issued an edict to reconcile them.
