《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪十》
侍中魏徵屡次以眼病请求改任散官，太宗不得已改任他为特进，仍让他知门下事。举凡朝廷奏章国家典仪，均参与议论得失，流放、徒刑以上的罪刑，均由他审察上报；俸禄、吏卒等优待与职事官相同。

<number>. Wei Zheng, the Assistant Chamberlain, repeatedly requested to be reassigned to a position outside the government due to eye illness. Taizong had no choice but to reassign him as a Close Associate while still having him handle affairs in the Department of Palace Affairs. All the court documents, national ceremonies, banishment, and sentences of penal servitude and above were reviewed and reported by him. His benefits and staff were on the same level as a working official.
