《旧唐书·本纪·卷十七》
初七，谏官上书争辩说不该奖任李仲言那么高级别的职位，文宗派太监代表他向谏官们说 ：我这样做是为了留李仲言在宫中切磋《周易》经义。任命已经发出，不可轻易改变。 
丙申，谏官上疏论李仲言不合奖任，上令中使宣逾谏官曰： 朕留仲言禁中，顾问经义，敕命已行，不可遽改。 
On the 7th, the remonstrators submitted a memorial to argue against the bestowal of such a high rank on Li Zhongyan, and Wenzong sent an eunuch to say on his behalf to the remonstrators: “I did this in order to keep Li Zhongyan in the palace to debate the Classic of Changes. The appointment has already been issued; it cannot be lightly changed.”
