《旧唐书·本纪·卷十八》
更何况正直敢言的地方，应该用老成持重的人，秩禄不够优厚，则难以任用年高德厚的人。
况蹇谔之地，宜老成之人，秩未优崇，则难用耆德。
Furthermore, in places where there were upright outspoken comments, grave & steady people should have been employed, but if the salary level was not high enough, it would be difficult to employ people of such high moral integrity.
