大歷初，丁母憂，朝廷以王昂代其任，伯玉潛諷將吏不受詔，遂起復以本官為荊南節度等使，時議醜之。 Early in the Dali era he entered mourning for his mother; the court sent Wang Ang to replace him. Boyu secretly incited his officers and clerks to refuse the order, and was recalled from mourning to his former post as Jingnan commissioner—contemporaries despised him for it.
