[Bingshen (936)] Changed to Tianfu. Gaozu, Jingtang (a native of Jinyang. His father was Nieliji, originally from the Western Barbarians. He submitted to the Tang from the Zhuye clan, and following them, dwelt in Shanyin. Later he followed Keyong on military campaigns with distinction, his office reaching Prefect of Luozhou. He begat the Emperor. Why he had the surname Shi is not known from the start. Mingzong favored him and gave him his daughter in marriage, who became Princess Yongning. He served as Military Commissioner of Taiyuan. Once the Tang house fell into disorder, the Last Emperor transferred Jingtang to garrison Tianping, but he did not go. [The Emperor] ordered troops to punish him. Shi, together with Sang Weihan, Liu Zhiyuan, and others, borrowed troops from the Khitan. [Yelü De]guang crushed the Tang troops. Because his late father had served [De]guang, he consequently destroyed the Tang. He constructed an altar at Liulin and ascended the imperial throne, changing the seventh year of Changxing into the first year of Tianfu. In the tenth month, the troops arrived, and the [Tang] emperor immolated himself. In the eleventh month, Jingtang entered Luoyang. He died after reigning for eight years, at the age of fifty-one. He was buried in the Xin'an Mausoleum).
