《新唐书·列传·卷一百零三》
大和二年，举行贤良方正能直言极谏的科举考试，皇帝把一百多位儒生召到朝廷，出试题说：我听说古代圣王治理天下，清静随顺，无为而治，政不繁民心归附，不干预遇事守法，使人民富足来建立根本，用诚心建立公正，因此天意和人心相通，阴阳和谐，人民仁德长寿，万物没有疾病。啊！
太和二年，举贤良方正能直言极谏，帝引诸儒百余人于廷，策曰：朕闻古先哲王之治也，玄默无为，端拱司契，陶氓心以居简，凝日用于不宰，厚下以立本，推诚而建中，繇是天人通，阴阳和，俗跻仁寿，物无疵疠。
In the second year of Daye, the imperial examination of virtuous, upright, and outspoken people was held.

Ah!
