高宗謂劉墉、紀昀、彭元瑞三人皆資深，墉遇事模棱，元瑞以不檢獲愆，昀讀書多而不明理，惟誥在直勤勉，超拜東閣大學士，明詔宣示，俾三人加愧勵焉。 The Qianlong Emperor said Liu Yong, Ji Yun, and Peng Yuanrui were all senior: Liu Yong was equivocal in affairs; Peng Yuanrui had been censured for misconduct; Ji Yun read widely but lacked sound judgment—only Gao, diligent in regular duty, was promoted over their heads to Grand Secretary of the Eastern Pavilion, with an explicit edict to shame and spur the three.
