《元史·列传·卷六十六》
武宗听说他很贤德，召见他，仁宗说： 这个人可以任大事，只是性格刚直，难与别人投合。 
武宗闻其贤，召见之，仁宗曰： 此人诚可任大事，然刚直寡合。 
Emperor Wuzong heard that he was wise and virtuous and summoned him. Emperor Renzong said, "This man can accomplish great things. Only his disposition is too unyielding and it is difficult for him to get along with others."
