七年，唐莊宗入汴，龑懼，遣宮苑使何詞入詢中國虛實，稱大漢國主致書大唐皇帝。 In the seventh year, when Tang Zhuangzong entered Bian, Yan grew fearful and sent Palace Gardens Commissioner He Ci to inquire into the strength of the central state, addressing himself as lord of Great Han writing to the emperor of Great Tang.

自言家本咸秦，恥王蠻夷，呼唐天子為「洛州刺史」。 He claimed his family was originally from the Qin capital region, was ashamed to rule over barbarians, and called the Tang emperor "the prefect of Luozhou."
