Kong dissuaded An, arguing that given how honored and how close to the emperor he was, it was inappropriate to further create a marital relationship, so An declined.
When Kong heard this, apparently wanting to create a relationship with the imperial household independent of his relationship with An, he ingratiated Li Siyuan's favorite concubine Consort Wang and sought that his daughter be married to an imperial prince.
[4] According to the New History of the Five Dynasties, he created Princess Kong empress, but a formal creation ceremony was not held at that time.
[3] At that time, the court scene was controlled by Li Conghou's chiefs of staff Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun.
They suspected the powers held by Li Conghou's older adoptive brother Li Congke the military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (鳳翔, headquartered in modern Baoji, Shaanxi) and brother-in-law Shi Jingtang the military governor of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi).
They therefore sent him out of the capital to serve as military prefect of Bo Prefecture (亳州, in modern Bozhou, Anhui).
[4] In spring 934, not wanting Shi to remain at Hedong for long, Zhu and Feng transferred Shi, Li Congke, and Fan Yanguang the military governor of Chengde Circuit (成德, headquartered in modern Shijiazhuang, Hebei) to new assignments.
