德玄始為高祖丞相府千牛，曆太宗時不甚顯，高宗以舊臣，自殿中少監為御史大夫，歲中遷司元太常伯。 Dexuan began as a qianniu imperial bodyguard in Gaozu's chancellor's office and remained relatively obscure through Taizong's reign. Honoring him as an old minister, Gaozong raised him from vice director of the palace department to censor-in-chief and within a year moved him to vice minister of revenue.

麟德初，進檢校左相，勤職約己，天子嘗臨朝，咨其清素，加以賜賚。 Early in Linde he was made acting left chancellor. Diligent in duty and austere in his habits, he was once questioned at audience about his integrity and plain living, and the emperor rewarded him accordingly.
