《旧唐书·本纪·卷十五》
当时刑部员外郎杨嗣复因为父亲杨於陵被授予户部侍郎，便援引近亲应当避嫌的先例，请求调出中书省，朝廷不同意，因而发布这道敕令。
时刑部员外郎杨嗣复以父于陵除户部侍郎，遂以近例避嫌，请出省，不从，因有是敕。
At that time, Yang Sifuj, an official of the Ministry of Justice, requested to be transferred out of the Ministry of Personnel because his father, Yang Yuling was appointed as a Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, citing a precedent of conflict of interest. The court did not approve, so this imperial edict was issued.
