天成初，除鄴都留守判官，與趙敬怡、呂夢奇不足。 Early in the Tiancheng era he was made aide to the Ye garrison commander and fell out with Zhao Jingyi and Lü Mengqi.

或達於重誨，會敬怡入為樞密使，與夢奇同構殺之。 Word of this reached An Chonghui. When Jingyi entered the capital as director of the Bureau of Military Affairs, he and Mengqi together plotted to have Nie killed.
