初，以柳公綽在鎮無功，議將代之，裴度言：「道古嗣曹王皋之子，皋嘗以江漢兵遏希烈之亂，威惠至今在人，復用其子必能繼美。」 When Liu Gongchuo's tenure had yielded no results, the court considered replacing him. Pei Du argued, "Li Daogu is the son of Prince of Cao Li Gao. Li Gao once held the Jiang-Han line against Li Xilie's rebellion, and his prestige and kindness are remembered to this day. Appointing his son would carry on that legacy."

時公綽殊未意道古至，惶駭而出，家財多為所奪。 Liu Gongchuo had no warning of his arrival and fled in panic. Li Daogu seized much of his household property.
