《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七十一》
又说： 况且，大唐天下还未倾倒，朝廷纲纪尚且整肃，天道人心没有沦丧，各种法度全都存在，君主和臣子之间的礼仪，上上下下的名份，理所当然应该严格遵守，而不可有违定制。
又曰： 况天步未倾，皇纲尚整，三灵不昧，百度俱存，君臣之礼仪，上下之名分，所宜遵守，未可堕陵。
Moreover:  Furthermore, the Tang territory has not yet collapsed.  The feudal system of the imperial court is still in order.  Heavenly principles and the hearts of the people have not been forsaken.  All kinds of legal systems still exist.  The etiquette between monarch and ministers, the relationships between superiors and inferiors should naturally be strictly observed and must not violate the customs.
