《资治通鉴·后梁纪·后梁纪一》
苏循日夜盼着做宰相。后梁太祖轻视他的为人，敬翔及殿中监李振也瞧不起他。敬翔对太祖说： 苏循是唐朝如同鸱枭一样的奸邪小人，出卖国家，贪求私利，不可以立于新的朝廷。 
翔言于帝曰： 苏循，唐之鸱枭，卖国求利，不可以立于惟新之朝。 
Su Xun yearned day and night to be a prime minister. The Later Liang Taizu looked down upon his character, and Jing Xiang and the Superintendent of the Palace, Li Zhen, also disdained him. Jing Xiang said to the Taizu: “Su Xun is a villainous and treacherous person who betrayed his country and sought personal gain during the Tang Dynasty. He should not be given a position in the new court.”
