2. Historical evaluation

Book of the Old Tang Dynasty: Respect for virtue and capture, encourage Julian Waghann, but repay the kindness and loyalty to the monarch. However, self-sufficiency is not the way; Huang Wen's warning can be a medicine stone for heroes. Uncle Bao made good use of the stable, and was outnumbered when pulling out the thief's base. He was a brave man. Knowing that the festival is a national disaster, worshipping falcons is fatal to the auxiliary king, which can be described as loyalty. Knowing the hegemony of the Tang dynasty, you can see a gentleman. Zhixuan keeps silent about dysprosium, but he can learn from the teacher. I am willing to vote for the tortoise and decided to help the Chu army. They are all so-called fierce advisers, who change according to circumstances. With the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the reality depends on it.

The Book of the New Tang Dynasty: The emperor will prosper, and the arrogant will enlighten the animals. Therefore, all the scholars must attach it. If the rafters are used as big houses, they will be destroyed and all the people will call them evil. However, everyone can be self-sufficient, so virtuous!
