《新唐书·列传·卷一百四十九》
自我检查，臣之罪有六，不得免死：过去同罗背叛，骚扰河曲，兵患不解，臣不顾母亲年老，毅然跟从先帝到达行宫，募兵讨贼，剿灭同罗，是臣不忠于国之罪一；臣之子玢被同罗虏去，寻机会逃跑归来，臣将他斩杀以号令众士，舍弃了天性之爱，这是臣不忠于国之罪二；臣的两个女儿远嫁外夷，为国和亲，荡平敌寇，这是臣不忠于国之罪三；臣与子亲赴军旅，立志要使邦国安宁，拼死为国效命，这是臣不忠于国之罪四；河北新近归附的诸镇，均拥有强兵，臣前去抚绥以安定反侧，弭祸于未萌，这是臣不忠于国之罪五；臣说服回纥，使赴急难，戡定中原，二先帝之陵得以覆土，使陛下能勤孝两全，这是臣不忠于国之罪六。 
然臣之罪有六，无所逃死：往者同罗背逆，以骚河曲，兵连不解，臣不顾老母，从先帝于行在，募兵讨贼，同罗奔殄，是臣不忠于国，罪一也；斩子玢以令士众，舍天性之爱，是臣不忠于国，罪二也；二女远嫁，为国和亲，合从殄灭，是臣不忠于国，罪三也；又与子瑒躬履行阵，志宁邦家，是臣不忠于国，罪四也；河北新附，诸镇皆握强兵，臣之抚绥，反侧时定，是臣不忠于国，罪五也；协和回纥，戡定中原，二陵复土，使陛下勤孝两全，是臣不忠于国，罪六也。 
Examining myself, I find myself guilty of six crimes, for which death is not too severe: In the past, Tongluo turned against the country and harassed the Hequ, but the threat of their armies did not recede, so I ignored the fact that my mother was old and went with the former emperor to the palace, recruited soldiers to suppress the bandits, and wiped out the Tongluo; this is the first of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country; My son, Bin, was captured by the Tongluo, but found a way to escape and come back, and I had him killed to remind all my soldiers of the rules of war, though in doing so, I had to abandon my natural paternal love; this is the second of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country; My two daughters became the ruler's wives in foreign lands, restoring peace to the country through marriage and pacifying our enemies; this is the third of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country; I personally went to the army with my son, determined to pacify the country and give up my life to serve the country; this is the fourth of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country; Recently, the many towns of Hebei have returned to the fold, and they all have large numbers of soldiers. I went to comfort and pacify them in order to stabilize the situation and stamp out disorder before it emerged; this is the fifth of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country; I persuaded the Uighurs to come to the aid of the emergency, helping to stabilize the Central Plain, leading to the return of the soil to the tombs of the two former emperors, so that Your Majesty is able to perfectly fulfill both your duties to your father and to your country; this is the sixth of the crimes for which I am disloyal to the country.
