《新五代史·列传·唐臣传第十二》
郭崇韬很害怕，对他老朋友的子弟说： 我辅佐天子取得天下，现在大功告成，而小人们纷纷兴风作浪，我想迥避他们，回去守卫镇阳，也许可以避免灾祸，行吗？ 
崇韬颇惧，语其故人子弟曰： 吾佐天子取天下，今大功已就，而群小交兴，吾欲避之，归守镇阳，庶几免祸，可乎？ 
Guo Chongtao was very scared, and said to his old friend's son: "I assisted the emperor in obtaining the world. Now that great work has been accomplished, and the villains have been stirring up trouble, I want to avoid them and go back to defend Zhenyang. Maybe I can avoid disaster. Is that okay?"
