密王友倫，幼聰悟，喜筆劄，曉聲律。 You Lun, Prince of Mi, was bright as a child, loved literature, and had an ear for music.

太祖征兗、鄆，友倫勒所部兵收聚糧穀，以濟軍須。 During campaigns in Yan and Yun he gathered grain for the army.

幽、滄軍至內黃，友倫前鋒夜渡河擊賊，奪馬千匹，擒斬甚眾。 When Youzhou and Cangzhou forces reached Neihuang, his vanguard crossed the river at night, took a thousand horses, and killed or captured many.

因引兵往八議關，卒逢晉軍萬餘騎，友倫乃分布兵士，多設疑軍。 Marching toward Bayi Pass he met more than ten thousand Jin horsemen and spread his men in feigned formations.

太祖遣友倫總步騎數萬，越險救應，遂大破晉軍。 The Founder sent You Lun with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry over difficult ground to relieve him and routed the Jin army.

友倫率徒兵三萬徑往礬山，晉人望塵奔逸。 You Lun marched thirty thousand foot soldiers to Fanshan and the Jin army fled at his approach.

友倫與氏叔琮等躡其轍，追至太原，摩壘挑戰，獲牛馬萬餘。 With Shi Shuzong he pursued to Taiyuan, challenged the walls, and seized more than ten thousand cattle and horses.

三年，昭宗歸長安，製授友倫寧遠軍節度使、檢校司徒，賜號迎鑾毅勇功臣。 In the third year, after Zhaozong returned to Chang'an, You Lun became Ningyuan military commissioner and acting Minister of Works with the honorific Welcoming-the-Carriage Resolute Warrior.

及太祖東歸，留友倫宿衛京師。 When the Founder went east he left You Lun to guard the capital.

皇侄故邕州節度使友寧、故容州節度使友倫，頃因締構，俱習韜鈐，並以戰功，歿於王事，永言帶礪，合議封崇。」 Imperial nephews You Ning, late commissioner of Yong, and You Lun, late commissioner of Rong, were trained in war from the founding days and died in service; they deserve posthumous honors befitting founders of the house."

於是存追封朗王，友寧追封安王，友倫追封密王。 Cun was posthumously created Prince of Lang, You Ning Prince of An, and You Lun Prince of Mi.

光化中，太祖在滑，遣密王友倫以兵三萬禦幽州之師十餘萬，深慮其不敵，召殷問曰：「陣可行乎？」 In Guanghua, at Hua, the Founder secretly sent Prince of Mi Wang Youlun with thirty thousand men against more than a hundred thousand from Youzhou; fearing defeat, he asked Yin: "Can we give battle?"
