《宋史·列传·卷二十四》
皇上退朝后对身边的人说 ：吕蒙正的气量是我不如的啊。 后来还是任用蒙正推荐的人，这个人果然称职。
上退谓左右曰： 蒙正气量，我不如。 既而卒用蒙正所荐，果称职。
After the Emperor retired from the court, he told the people around him: "Lu Mengzheng has a greater magnanimity than I have." Later, he still employed the person recommended by Mengzheng, and this person indeed proved to be competent.
