《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪五十五》
当初，德宗往往猜疑妒忌臣下，对于相互往来的朝中百官，金吾卫一概侦察情报，上报德宗，宰相也不敢在私人宅第中会见客人。裴度奏称： 如今敌人还没有平定，宰相应当招揽延引各地德才兼备的人才参与谋划计议。 于是，他初次请求在私人宅第中会见宾客，宪宗答应了他的请求。
初，德宗多猜忌，朝士有相过从者，金吾皆伺察以闻，宰相不敢私第见客，度奏： 今寇盗未平，宰相宜招延四方贤才与参谋议 ，始请于私第见客，许之。
In the beginning, Emperor Dezong often suspected and was jealous of his subordinates. For court officials visiting each other, Jinwu Guards would generally investigate and report to Emperor Dezong. Even the Prime Minister didn't dare to see guests in his private residence. Pei Du memorialized: Now that the enemies haven't been pacified, the Prime Minister should attract and extend invitations to talented and virtuous people from all over the country to participate in planning and strategies. Thus, he initially requested to see guests in his private residence and Emperor Xianzong agreed to his request.
