及梁祖為元帥，隱遣使持重賂以求保薦，梁祖即表其事，遂降旄節。 When the Liang founder became commander-in-chief, Yin sent envoys with heavy gifts; the founder memorialized the court and the baton was granted.

梁祖郊禋，禮畢，加檢校太師、兼中書令，又命兼領安南都護，充清海、靜海兩軍節度使，進封南海王。 After the Liang founder's suburban sacrifice he was made acting Grand Preceptor and Director of the Secretariat, named Protector-General of Annan and military governor of Qinghai and Jinghai, and advanced to Prince of the Southern Sea.
