《隋书·列传·卷五》
一次皇上大宴百官，元谐进言说： 陛下恩威远播，我请求让突厥可汗作侯正，让陈叔宝当令史。 
及上大宴百僚，谐进曰： 陛下威德远被，臣请突厥可汗为候正，陈叔宝为令史。 
Once, when the emperor held a grand banquet for all the officials, Yuan Xie said, "Your Majesty's kindness and authority have spread far and wide. I request that you make the Khan of the Turks the Marquis of Zheng and Chen Shubao the Order Historian."
