《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七》
一般说来，创立基业传给后世的君主，是子孙后代学习的典范，后来中宗、玄宗、肃宗、代宗的帝位传承，能不是在对太宗的指顾与效法中找到借口的吗！
夫创业垂统之君，子孙之所仪刑也，彼中、明、肃、代之传继，得非有所指拟以为口实乎！
Generally speaking, a monarch who establishes a great legacy to be passed down to future generations serves as a model for his descendants. Was the succession to the imperial throne among the later Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Suizong, and Daizong not inspired and guided by Taizong's decisions and actions?
