「臣伏見唐太宗有魏玄成、房玄齡、杜如晦，明皇有姚崇、宋璟、魏知古，皆任以輔弼，委之心膂，財成帝道，康濟九區，宗祀延洪，史策昭煥，良由登用得其人也。 "I observe that Emperor Taizong of Tang had Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui; Emperor Xuanzong had Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Wei Zhigu. Each entrusted his ministers as true counselors, relying on them as his very heart and sinew. They perfected the imperial Way, brought peace to the realm, ensured enduring ancestral rites, and left histories that shine, all because the right men were appointed.
