《新唐书·列传·卷七十八》
天宝以后，李林甫得到皇帝宠信，群臣有不先询问宰相就向皇帝报告政事的，就借其他事中伤他，还不敢明目张胆地规定各部门奏事须先报告宰相。
天宝后，李林甫得君，群臣不先咨宰相辄奏事者，托以他故中伤之，犹不敢明约百司，使先关白。
After Tianbao, Li Linfu gained imperial favor. If any official reported state affairs to the Emperor without first consulting the Prime Minister, he would seize other matters to discredit them, but he dared not openly stipulate that all ministries must report to the Prime Minister first before addressing the Emperor.
