八月己丑，東京舍利軍詳穩大延琳囚留守駙馬都尉蕭孝先及南陽公主，殺戶部使韓紹勛、副使王嘉、四捷軍都指揮使蕭頗得，延琳遂僭位，號其國為興遼，年為天慶。
On jichou day of the eighth month Eastern Capital Sheli Army xiangwen Da Yanlin imprisoned regent imperial son-in-law commandant Xiao Xiaoxian and Nanyang Princess, killed Revenue Commissioner Han Shaoxun, deputy commissioner Wang Jia, and Four Expeditions Army commander-in-chief Xiao Piede; Yanlin then usurped the throne, called his state Xingliao, and took the era name Tianqing.
故延琳乘之，首殺紹勛、嘉，以快其眾。
Therefore Yanlin seized the opportunity, first killing Shaoxun and Jia to satisfy his followers.
延琳先事與副留守王道平謀，道平夜棄其家，逾城走，與延琳所遣召黃龍府黃翩者，俱至行在告變。
Yanlin had earlier plotted with deputy regent Wang Daoping; Daoping abandoned his family at night and fled over the wall, and together with Huang Pian, whom Yanlin had sent to summon from Huanglong Prefecture, both reached the mobile court to report the uprising.
時國舅詳穩蕭匹敵治近延琳，先率本管及家兵據其要害，絕其西渡之計。
At the time imperial maternal uncle xiangwen Xiao Pide was stationed near Yanlin; he first led his command and household troops to seize strategic points, cutting off Yanlin's plan to cross west.
渤海太保夏行美亦舊主兵，戍保州，延林密馳書，使圖統帥耶律蒲古。
Bohai Grand Guardian Xia Xingmei had also formerly commanded troops and garrisoned Ba Prefecture; Yanlin secretly sent a fast letter asking him to plot against commander Yelü Pugu.
延琳知黃龍、保州皆不附，遂分兵西取沈州，其節度使蕭王六初至，其副張傑聲言欲降，故不急攻。
Yanlin knew that Huanglong and Ba Prefecture would not join him, so he divided his forces west to take Shen Prefecture; its military commissioner Xiao Wangliu had just arrived, and his deputy Zhang Jie declared he wished to surrender, so they did not press the attack.
時南、北女直皆從延琳，高麗亦稽其貢。
At the time both Southern and Northern Jurchen followed Yanlin, and Goryeo also delayed its tribute.
及諸道兵次第皆至，延琳嬰城固守。
When forces from all routes arrived in succession, Yanlin defended the city stubbornly.
