《太平广记·卷一百六十九·知人一》
唐俭说话爽快，善解人意，愿意喝酒，敢于讲话，为我服务三年，却没有一句话是议论国家兴亡的大事的。
唐俭言辞俊利，善和解人，酒杯流行，发言启齿。事朕三载，遂无一言论国家得失。
Tang Jian speaks readily, is good at understanding people's intentions, likes to drink, and dares to speak. He has served me for three years, but has never said a word about matters of national importance.
