〈（《五代史闕文》：符後先適河中節度使李守貞之子崇訓。 (Supplement to the History of the Five Dynasties: Fu Hou had first married Li Shouzhen's son Chongxun.

守貞嘗得術士，善聽聲，知人貴賤，守貞舉族悉令術士聽之，獨言後大富貴，當母儀天下。 Shouzhen once found a man skilled at judging rank by the sound of voices. He had every member of his clan tested; only Hou, he said, would rise to supreme wealth and become mother of the realm.

守貞信之，因曰：「吾婦尚為皇后，吾可知也。」 Shouzhen believed him and said, "If my daughter-in-law is to be empress, what then am I destined for?"

及城陷，後獨免，周祖為世宗娶之，顯德中，冊為後。）〉 When the city fell she alone was spared. The Zhou founder had her marry his heir Shizong, and in the Xiande era she was made empress.)〉
