無何，思禮為河東節度使，其偏將辛雲京為代州刺史，屢為將校譖毀，思禮怒焉。 Before long Sil became military governor of Hedong; his subordinate general Xin Yunjing was prefect of Dai. After repeated slanders by officers, Sil grew angry at him.

雲京惶懼，不知所出。 Yunjing was fearful and did not know what to do.

光晟時隸雲京麾下，因間進曰：「光晟素有德於王司空，比不言諸，恥以舊恩受賞。 Guangcheng was then under Yunjing's command; he privately said: "I once did a kindness for Vice Minister Wang and have not spoken of it, ashamed to receive reward for an old favor.

雲京然其計，即令之太原。 Yunjing approved the plan and sent him at once to Taiyuan.

光晟遂述雲京之屈，思禮曰：「雲京比涉謗言，過亦不細，今為故人，特舍之矣。」 Guangcheng then explained Yunjing's grievance. Sil said: "Yunjing's recent involvement in slander was no small fault, but for your sake as an old friend I shall specially overlook it."

及雲京為河東節度使，又奏光晟為代州刺史。 When Yunjing became military governor of Hedong, he again memorialized to make Guangcheng prefect of Dai.

肅宗以其統馭失方，不復究驗，遣使喻撫其軍，軍中請辛雲京為節度，詔可。 Emperor Suzong, because Jingshan had lost control, did not pursue the matter further; he sent envoys to pacify the army, and the army requested Xin Yunjing as military governor—the edict approved.
