大歷中，郭子儀言於代宗曰：「冕首佐先帝，馳驅靈武，有社稷勛，程元振忌其賢，遂加誣構，海內冤之。 In the Dali era Guo Ziyi said to Emperor Daizong, "Mian was the first to assist the late emperor, galloping to Lingwu; he earned merit for the altars of state; Cheng Yuanzhen resented his talent and framed him with false charges—the realm was wronged on his account.

陛下宜還冕於朝，復俾輔相，必能致治成化。」 Your Majesty should recall Mian to court and again make him chancellor—he will surely bring orderly rule and accomplished transformation."
