《旧唐书·列传·卷一百二十六》
反常的气焰，埋灭了和顺之风，而指望日月顺应时序，灾害疫病不发，朝廷清明整肃，朝官和睦安定，从古到今，从未有过。
缪戾之气，堙郁和平，而望阴阳顺时，疵疠不作；朝廷清肃，班列和安，自古及今，未尝有也。
The atmosphere of abnormality has extinguished the breeze of harmony, and it has been hoped that the sun and moon would follow the seasons, that disasters and epidemics would not occur, and that the court would be clear and upright and that the court officials would be harmonious and stable. This has never happened from ancient times to the present.
