《旧唐书·列传·卷十五》
我如果因为无忌是皇后的哥哥而偏爱他，可以多赠送美女金银布帛，哪儿用得着把重要的官职委任给他，无非是看中了他的才能操行而已。
朕若以无忌居后兄之爱，当多遗子女金帛，何须委以重官，盖是取其才行耳。
If I were to favor Wuji because he is the Empress's brother, it would be enough to grant him more additional entertainers, gold, silver, and silk, and I would have no need to give him important official positions. It is nothing more than in recognition of his talent and conduct.
