《周书·列传·卷三十六》
当时的功臣多任本州刺史，晋公宇文护对令狐整说： 以公的功勋名望，应该任本州刺史，但是朝廷要依藉公的才干，不容远出不过公的家族中，要有人获衣锦还乡的荣光。 于是任命令狐休为炖煌郡守。
时诸功臣多为本州刺史，晋公护谓整曰： 以公勋望，应得本州，但朝廷藉公委任，无容远出。然公门之内，须有衣锦之荣。 乃以休为炖煌郡守。
Many meritorious officials at that time were appointed as governors of their home states. Duke Jin Yuwenhu said to Linghuzheng: Given your meritorious service and reputation, you should be appointed as the governor of your home state. However, the court needs your talent and won’t allow you to go far away. But someone from your family should be given the honor of returning to his hometown in glory. So he appointed Linghuxiu as the governor of Dunhuang Commandery.
