是日，諸將稱賀，莊宗以酒屬帝曰：「昨朕在朝城，諸君多勸朕棄鄆州，以河為界，賴副總管禦侮於前，崇韜畫謀於內，若信李紹宏輩，大事已掃地矣。」 That day the generals congratulated him; Cunxu handed wine to Siyuan and said, "Yesterday at Chaocheng many of you wanted to abandon Yun and make the river the border; only the deputy overall commander held the front and Chongtao schemed within—had I listened to Li Shaohong and his crowd, the cause would be dust."

帝在京師，頗為謠言所屬，洎朱友謙、郭崇韜無名被戮，中外大臣皆懷憂懾。 At the capital Siyuan was the target of rumor; when Zhu Youqian and Guo Chongtao were killed without cause, court and command alike were afraid.
