莊宗下其議於有司，羣臣皆以謂非天子不得用玉冊，郭崇韜尤為不可，既而許之，乃賜鏐玉冊、金印。 Zhuangzong referred the request to the ministries. The ministers held that only the Son of Heaven might use a jade register; Guo Chongtao was especially adamant against it. Even so, permission was granted, and Qian Liu received a jade register and gold seal.
