初，李靈為高宗博士、諮議，[1]詔崔浩選中書學生器業優者為助教。 Earlier, Li Ling had served Emperor Gaozong as Erudite and Consulting Aide. An edict ordered Cui Hao to choose the most capable students at the Secretariat school to serve as assistant teachers.

按卷四九李靈傳云：「拜中書博士，選授高宗經，」亦不云為「諮議」。 The biography of Li Ling in juan 49 states, "He was appointed Doctor of the Secretariat and selected to instruct Gaozong in the classics," and likewise does not mention "Consulting Aide."
