其子廷說等曰：「大人功名及此，一失其勢，便是神龍去水，為螻蟻所製，尤宜深察。」 His sons Tingshuo and the others replied, "Father, you have risen to the height of power. Lose that position and you are a dragon out of water—at the mercy of ants. You must think carefully about this."

崇韜有子五人，廷信、廷誨隨父死於蜀，廷說誅於洛陽，廷讓誅於魏州，廷議誅於太原，家產籍沒。 Guo Chongtao had five sons. Tingxin and Tinghui died with their father in Shu. Tingshuo was executed in Luoyang, Tingrang at Weizhou, and Tingyi at Taiyuan. The family's estates were confiscated.
