況爾天子親軍，返效賊耶！」 You are the emperor’s own troops—will you ape rebels!”

天子不垂原宥，志在巢除。 The Son of Heaven will not forgive; he means to wipe them out.

今宜與城中合勢，擊退諸鎮之兵，請天子帝河南，令公鎮河北。」 Now we should join the city, beat back the other circuits, set the Son of Heaven in the south, and let you hold Hebei.”

莊宗崩，彥威從明宗入洛陽，首率群臣勸進，內外機事，皆決彥威。 Zhuangzong died. Yanwei followed Mingzong into Luoyang, led the ministers in urging him to the throne, and inner and outer affairs ran through Yanwei.
