又有與履同姓者名諝，為內侍省押班，亦親幸用事，與知閣門事藍公佐善，每邀公佐至其直舍，必縱飲大醉，薄莫乃歸，嚐漏泄禁中語。 Another Lu clansman named Xu, also Escort Leader, shared the emperor’s favor and power; he befriended Gate Affairs Commissioner Lan Gongzuo, entertained him nightly until both were drunk, and once leaked palace secrets.

劉光遠被劾，諝與內侍陳永錫受其金，力為營救。 When Liu Guangyuan was impeached, Xu and eunuch Chen Yongxi took his bribes and fought to save him.

言官劾之，帝詔永錫與祠，諝送吏部。 Censors impeached them; the emperor gave Yongxi a temple stipend and sent Xu to the Ministry of Personnel.

卒，贈保信軍節度使，諡忠定。 At death he was posthumously enfeoffed Military Commissioner of Baoxin Circuit with the title Zhongding.
