《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪五十九》
所以，我请求陛下讯速作出决断，首先公开下诏，向将士明确宣布，昭义的军队从李抱真担任节度使以来，一直是忠于朝廷的。为此，朝廷给予新任节度使丝织品五十万匹，命他犒赏将士，以便稳定军心；然后，任命刘从谏为一个州的刺史。
伏望速赐裁断，仍先下明敕，宣示军众，奖其从来忠节，赐新使缯五十万匹，使之赏设。续除刘从谏一剌史。
Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to make a quick decision, first issue an imperial edict to make it clear to the generals and soldiers that Zhaoyi's army has been loyal to the imperial court since Li Baozhen took over the governorship. To this end, the imperial court granted the new governor half a million bolts of silk to reward the generals and soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army; then, appoint Liu Congjian as the governor of a prefecture.
