《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪三十九》
大臣们前来祝贺，代宗心情很不愉快，说道： 朕未能信任好人，使得功臣遭受冷落，朕深感惭愧，有什么可庆贺的呢！ 
群臣入贺，上惨然不悦，曰： 朕信不及人，致勋臣颠越，深用为愧，又何贺焉！ 
The ministers came to congratulate him, but Daizong was not happy, saying: "I failed to trust good people, so that the meritorious officials were neglected. I am deeply ashamed, what is there to celebrate!"
