《贞观政要·卷十·论慎终》
贞观九年，唐太宗对各位公卿大臣说： 我继承帝业以来，推行无为而治的政策，如今国家周边的少数民族都臣服归顺了，这难道只是我一个人的能力所致吗？其实这是得益于各位大臣的辅佐之功啊！
贞观九年，太宗谓公卿曰： 朕端拱无为，四夷咸服，岂朕一人之所致，实赖诸公之力耳！
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang said to the ministers: I have been implementing the policy of non-interference since I inherited the imperial career, and now the ethnic minorities around the country have surrendered, is this just my own ability? In fact, this is thanks to the help of the ministers!
