《新唐书·列传·卷一百三十二》
仇士良说 ：天子，不能让他有闲暇，他一闲暇就一定看书，见文臣，就会接纳劝谏，就会深谋远虑，就会减少娱乐，就会减少出游，我辈人就会宠薄而权轻了。
士良曰： 天子不可令闲暇，暇必观书，见儒臣，则又纳谏，智深虑远，减玩好，省游幸，吾属恩且薄而权轻矣。
Qiu Shilang said: "The emperor cannot be allowed any leisure, because if he has leisure he will definitely read books and meet with civil officials, and he will accept their advice, think far ahead, avoid entertainment, and avoid going on outings. If that happens, people like us will lose our favor and our power will become weak."
