《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪二十六》
如果因为他起兵是为了废掉韦后而嘉奖他，则当时韦后谋反的表现还不太明显，与太子之间母子君臣的大义尚未断绝，如果没有中宗的命令就擅自起兵废掉她，这就是胁迫父亲废弃母亲，又怎么可以呢！
若以其欲废韦氏而嘉之，则韦氏于时逆状未彰，大义未绝，苟无中宗之命而废之，是胁父废母也，庸可乎！
If he was rewarded because he raised an army to dethrone Wei Hou, then Wei Hou's intention to rebel was not yet obvious at the time; her bond with the crown prince was not yet severed completely. He should not have launched an army without an order from the emperor; it would be forcing the father to abandon the mother.
