新授青州節度使霍彥威奏，處斬新登州刺史王公儼，及同謀拒命指揮使李謹、王居厚等八人訖。 New Qing commissioner Huo Yanwei reported executing Deng prefect Wang Gongyan and eight plotters, including Li Jin and Wang Juhou.

公儼遂與州將李謹等謀據州城，以邀符節，即令軍府飛章留己，兼揚言符習在鎮，人不便其政，帝乃除公儼為登州刺史。 Gongyan and Li Jin seized the city, memorialized to keep the post, and claimed Fu Xi's rule was unpopular; Zhuangzong named him Deng prefect.
