莊宗滅梁，罷漢賓為右龍武統軍，待之頗薄。 When Zhuangzong took Liang he parked Hanbin in the Right Dragon Martial guard and kept him at arm’s length.

後莊宗因出遊幸其第，漢賓妻有色而惠，因侍左右，進酒食，奏歌舞，莊宗歡甚，留至夜漏二更而去，漢賓自此有寵。 Once Zhuangzong called at his house. Hanbin’s wife was lovely and sharp; she poured wine, sang, danced at his side. Zhuangzong stayed till the second watch. After that Hanbin had favor again.

明宗入立，以漢賓為莊宗所厚，惡之，以為右衛上將軍。 Mingzong, who disliked anyone Zhuangzong had loved, made him Right Guard senior general.
