《旧唐书·列传·卷九十》
如今群小得志，败乱纲纪，官员仗着权势升迁，政令由着感情修改，结成私党，蒙蔽圣上。
今群小得志，隳紊纪纲，官以势迁，政由情改，朋党交构，荧惑宸聪。
Now, treacherous individuals have gained power and are wreaking havoc on our ethical system. Officials are promoted based on personal connections, and policies are amended arbitrarily. They have formed cliques and deceived the emperor.
