莊宗至汴州，宰相豆盧革在魏州，令崇韜權行中書事。 When Zhuangzong arrived at Bianzhou, Grand Counselor Doulu Ge remained at Weizhou, and Zhuangzong put Guo Chongtao in charge of Secretariat affairs on a provisional basis.

同列豆盧革謂崇韜曰：「汾陽王代北人，徙家華陰，侍中世在雁門，得非祖德歟？」 His colleague Doulu Ge said to Guo Chongtao, "The Prince of Fenyang came from northern Dai and moved his family to Huayin. Your family has roots in Yanmen for generations—surely this is ancestral grace?"

革曰：「故祖德也。」 Doulu Ge said, "Then it is indeed ancestral merit."

時孔謙為租庸副使，常畏張憲挺特，不欲其領使，乃白郭崇韜留憲於魏州，請宰相豆盧革判租庸。 At that time Kong Qian was deputy commissioner of transport and corvée tax; he often feared Zhang Xian's uprightness and did not want him to head the commission, so he told Guo Chongtao to keep Xian at Weizhou and asked the chancellor Dou Luge to take charge of transport and corvée.

初，莊宗欲以希甫知制誥，宰相豆盧革等附居翰，共排斥之，以為駕部郎中。 Zhuangzong had wanted to make him a drafter of edicts, but Chief Ministers Doulu Ge and others, siding with Zhang Juhan, blocked him and gave him only a post as director in the Transport Department.

天成初，欲召為諫議，豆盧革、韋說沮之。 Early in the Tiancheng era he was to be recalled as remonstrating censor, but Dou Luge and Wei Shuo blocked the appointment.

其後革、說為安重誨所惡，希甫希旨，誣奏革縱田客殺人，而說與鄰人爭井，井有寶貨。 When Luge and Shuo later fell afoul of An Chonghui, Xifu curried favor with false charges that Luge had let tenant farmers commit murder and that Shuo had fought a neighbor over a treasure-filled well.

有司推勘井中，惟破釜而已，革、說卒皆貶死。 Officials searched the well and found only a broken pot; Luge and Shuo were demoted and died in exile.

崇韜以為忠告，即奏憲為鄴都副留守，乃命宰臣豆盧革專判租庸。 Chongtao took this as sincere counsel, immediately memorialized Zhang Xian as deputy garrison commander of Ye, and ordered chief minister Dou Lüge to oversee taxation and corvée exclusively.

謙彌失望，乃尋革過失。 Qian was all the more disappointed and set about looking for Ge's faults.

時革以手書便省庫錢數十萬，謙以手書示崇韜，亦辭避。 At the time Ge had used a personal note to draw several hundred thousand from the treasury for convenience. Qian showed the note to Chongtao, who also declined the post.

謙乘間訴於豆盧革曰：「租庸錢穀，悉在眼前，委一小吏可辦。 Qian seized an opportunity to complain to Dou Lüge: "The revenues and grain of taxation and corvée are all right before one's eyes; a minor clerk could handle the task.

豆盧革言於崇韜，崇韜曰：「鄴都分司列職，皆主上舊人，委王正言何慮不辦？」 Dou Lüge spoke to Chongtao, who said, "All the branch offices and posts at Ye are the emperor's old associates; if Wang Zhengyan is entrusted with the task, why worry that he cannot manage it?"

革曰：「俱是失也，設不獲已，以正言掌租庸，取書於大臣，或可辦矣； Ge said, "Both choices would be mistakes. If there is no help for it, let Zhengyan manage taxation and corvée while taking counsel from senior ministers—that might work;

崇韜以為然，因以憲留守北都，而以宰相豆盧革判租庸。 Chongtao agreed. He left Xian at the northern capital and put Chief Minister Dou Lu’ge over grain and corvée.

謙益失望，乃陰求革過失，而革嘗以手書假租庸錢十萬，謙因以書示崇韜，而微泄其事，使革聞之。 Qian grew more disappointed and hunted for Ge’s faults. Ge had once borrowed a hundred thousand in grain funds in his own hand. Qian showed the note to Chongtao and let the story leak until Ge heard it.

革懼，遂求解職以讓崇韜，崇韜亦不肯當。 Ge was frightened and offered to step aside for Chongtao. Chongtao would not take the post either.

憲為人明辯，人頗忌之，謙因乘間謂革曰：「租庸錢谷，悉在目前，委一小吏可辦。 Xian was sharp-tongued and clear-minded, and many resented him. Qian seized the moment and told Ge, “The grain money is all here in the office. A petty clerk could run it.

革以語崇韜，崇韜罷憲不召，以興唐尹王正言為租庸使。 Ge repeated this to Chongtao. Chongtao dropped the recall and made Xingtang governor Wang Zhengyan grain-and-corvée commissioner.
