《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪一》
有人推荐礼部尚书薛廷，太子少保李琪也曾当过太祖时的册礼使，他们都是师长宿儒，而且有文才，应当为宰相。
或荐礼部尚书薛廷珪，太子少保李琪，尝为太祖册礼使，皆耆宿有文，宜为相。
Someone suggested the current Minister of Rites Xue Tinggui and former Crown Prince’s Tutor Li Qi. They both served as envoys present at the ceremony for the reign title of the first emperor of Later Tang, and they were both dignified Confucian scholars and had literary talent. They should be prime ministers.
