太宗嘗侍宴禁中，甚醉，及退，太祖送至苑門。 On one occasion Taizong attended a palace banquet and became thoroughly intoxicated. When he took his leave, Taizu escorted him as far as the garden gate.

太祖顧瓊等壯之，因賜以控鶴官衣帶及器帛，且勖令盡心焉。 Taizu looked over Qiong and his companions, impressed by their sturdy bearing, and rewarded them with the robes, belts, and equipment of the Crane-Controlling Guard, urging them to serve with full loyalty.
