《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪五十五》
倘若规避亲戚故旧的嫌疑，使本朝缺欠人才济济的局面，这便是苟求自安的臣下，并不符合大公无私的原则啊！
若避亲故之嫌，使圣朝亏多士之美，此乃偷安之臣，非至公之道也。
"If we avoid the suspicion of favoring relatives and old friends, and make this dynasty lack talented people, then those are ministers who are only seeking to live in peace and security, and do not conform to the principle of impartiality!"
