谷从政去见李惟岳说： 当今国内没有事端，从京城来的人都说皇上聪慧明达，英俊威武，立志要再造太平之世，十分不愿方镇的子孙专擅一方。

Gu Cong-zheng went to see Li Wei-yue and said: "Now that there are no disorders in the country, all who come from the capital say that the emperor is intelligent and brilliant, handsome and martial, and has set his mind on bringing about another era of lasting peace. He is decidedly not willing that the sons and grandsons of the feudal lords should wax powerful in one place."
