建武初，元帝承制拜廆假節、散騎常侍、都督遼左雜夷流人諸軍事、龍驤將軍、大單于、昌黎公，廆讓而不受。
Early in Jianwu, Emperor Yuan, acting under provisional authority, appointed Hui Bearer of the Staff, Supernumerary Palace Attendant, commander of the Liaozuo mixed tribes and displaced people, General of Dragon Soaring, Great Shanyu, and Duke of Changli; Hui declined and would not accept.
征虜將軍魯昌說廆曰：「今兩京傾沒，天子蒙塵，琅邪承制江東，實人命所系。
Lu Chang argued only imperial seals could awe rival tribes, saying, "Both capitals have fallen and the Son of Heaven wanders; Langye rules Jiangdong by interim decree—the mandate of life and death rests there.
今宜通使琅邪，勸承大統，然後敷宣帝命，以伐有罪，誰敢不從！」
Send envoys to Langye urging enthronement, then proclaim imperial orders and punish the guilty—who would disobey?"
屬海內分崩，皇輿遷幸，元皇中興，初唱大業，肅祖繼統，蕩平江外。
Southern courts sustained mandate.
今天子播越，四海分崩，蒼生紛擾，莫知所系，孤思與諸君匡復帝室，翦鯨豕於二京，迎天子于吳、會，廓清八表，侔勳古烈，此孤之心也，孤之願也。
Murong proclaimed plans to sweep bandits from Luoyang and Chang'an and escort Jin home.
