長孫嵩，代人也，太祖賜名焉。 Changsun Song came from Dai; Taizu gave him the name by which he is known.

見于烏渥，稱逆父之子，勸嵩歸太祖。 At Wuwo he met Song, styled himself a son who had turned against his father, and pressed him to submit to Taizu.

見太祖于三漢亭。 He presented himself to Taizu at Sanhan Pavilion.

太祖承大統，復以為南部大人。 Once Taizu took the great mandate, he restored Song as southern grandee.

忠厚廉謹，太祖愛其慎重，使掌幾密，與賀毗等四人內侍左右，出入詔命。 Steadfast, loyal, and careful, he won Taizu's trust for his gravity; Taizu set him over secret matters, and with He Pi and three others he waited on the throne, carrying orders in and out.
