After Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he worshipped Hu Anguo as the Attending Professor, and Annan said: The previous memorials have mostly offended the powerful, now his Majesty intends to revive the Central Plains, but the political affairs are slack and tense, talents are being kept out, it is not suitable at present, if I carry out my duties line by line, I will surely be convicted of wanton speech and infringing the law.
