郭崇韜固請，以為不可，莊宗怒曰：「朕為卿所制，都不自由！」 Guo Chongtao insisted it could not stand. Zhuangzong snapped, “You rule me—I am not free!”

莊宗遣李紹宏監諸將備契丹，凝軍瓦橋關，以諂事紹宏，紹宏數薦凝可大用，郭崇韜每以為不可。 Zhuangzong sent Li Shaohong to watch the generals against the Khitan. Ning held Waqiao Pass and flattered him; Shaohong kept pushing Ning for high office, and Guo Chongtao kept saying no.
