泉州節度使劉從效遣別駕王禹錫奉貢於行在，帝以泉州比臣江南，李景方歸奉國家，不欲奪其所屬，但錫詔褒美而已。 Liu Congxiao of Quanzhou sent Vice Prefect Wang Yuxi with tribute to the temporary court. The Emperor judged that Quanzhou stood in the same relation as a Jiangnan subject, and since Li Jing had only just returned to allegiance, he did not wish to seize another's domain and merely issued an edict of commendation.
