《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪十三》
如今却要渡海远征小小的高丽，如果捷报指日可待还可以；万一遭遇挫折，损伤威望，再引起百姓起兵反抗，则朝廷的安危难以预测呀！ 
今乃渡海远征小夷，若指期克捷，犹可也。万一蹉跌，伤威损望，更兴忿兵，则安危难测矣。 
“But now you wish to cross the sea for an expedition against little Goryeo. If there is victory in a matter of days, it will be fine, but if we meet with a setback and your prestige is damaged, and if it leads to the people rising in rebellion, it will be difficult to predict whether the court will be safe!”
