《新唐书·列传·卷四十二》
第二年，皇帝病了，命太子监国，诏令裴炎与刘齐贤、郭正一同于东宫平章政事。及至皇帝病危，受遗诏辅佐太子。太子即位，是为中宗。
帝不豫，太子监国，诏炎与刘齐贤、郭正一於东宫平章政事，及大渐，受遗辅太子，是为中宗。
The next year, the emperor fell ill and ordered the Crown Prince to supervise the country's affairs. He decreed Pei Yan, Liu Qi Xian and Guo Zheng to jointly manage government affairs at the Eastern Palace. As the emperor reached critical condition, he left instructions in his will to assist the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince succeeded to the throne to become Emperor Zhongzong.
