《宋史·列传·卷二十八》
李崧的族子李日方任秘书郎，曾经前去看望李崧，李崧对李日方说： 近来朝廷对我有什么议论？ 李日方说： 没有别的，只有陶给事往往在大众场合极力诬蔑叔父。 李崧叹道： 陶谷从单州判官任上，我任用为集贤校理，不过几年提升至掌管诰命，我哪里有负于这个陶氏子呢？ 到李崧遇祸，李日方曾经因公事见陶谷，陶谷问李日方： 认识李侍中吗？ 李日方严肃地回答说 ：是我的远房叔父。 陶谷说 ：李氏之祸，是我出的力。 日方听说后脊背出汗。
崧族子昉为秘书郎，尝往候崧，崧语昉曰： 迩来朝廷于我有何议？ 昉曰： 无他闻，唯陶给事往往于稠人中厚诬叔父。 崧叹曰： 穀自单州判官，吾取为集贤校理，不数年擢掌诰命，吾何负于陶氏子哉？ 及崧遇祸，昉尝因公事诣穀，穀问昉： 识李侍中否？ 昉敛衽应曰： 远从叔尔。 穀曰： 李氏之祸，穀出力焉。 昉闻之汗出。
Li Song's cousin, Li Rifang, who held the post of Secretary, once went to visit him. Li Song said to Li Rifang, “Recently, has the court discussed me at all?” Li Rifang replied, “Nothing at all, except that Lord Tao at court always takes public opportunities to slander you.” Li Song sighed, “Tao Gu used to be a judge in the prefecture of Shan; it was I who appointed him as a proofreader for the Collection of Literary Excellence, and just within a few years he has been promoted to oversee the imperial edicts; how have I mistreated this boy of the Tao family?” When Li was arrested, Li Rifang, who was working on official business, happened to meet Tao Gu, who asked Li, “Are you acquainted with Li, the Imperial Clerk?” Li replied seriously, “He is my distant uncle.” Tao said, “The misfortune of the Li family was brought about by me.” On hearing this, Rifang broke out in a sweat.
