《旧唐书·列传·卷四十八》
当时虢州因地在两京之间，皇上总在京都或东都，是最近的州，所以常常被支派税草来充实未用的马厩。
时虢州以地在两京之间，驾在京及东都，并为近州，常被支税草以纳闲厩。
Guozhou lay between the two capitals, and since the emperor resided either in the capital or in the eastern capital, it was the nearest prefecture, and so was often ordered to provide straw for the horses in the imperial stables.
