唐莊宗平梁,遣使告捷於蜀,蜀人恟懼,致禮復命,稱「大蜀國主致書上大唐皇帝」,詞理稍抗,莊宗不能容,遣客省使李嚴報聘,且市宮中珍玩,蜀人皆禁而不出。 When Tang Emperor Zhuangzong destroyed Liang, he sent envoys to announce victory in Shu. The Shu court was alarmed and replied with gifts, addressing their letter "The Lord of Great Shu writes to the Emperor of Great Tang"—wording Zhuangzong found insolent. He sent the guest-house envoy Li Yan on a return mission and sought to buy palace treasures; the Shu authorities refused to let any leave.
