    1. 紫微侍郎苏颋同紫微黄门平章事

      appoint · New Book of Tang, 睿宗玄宗本纪

    2. 颋谏曰:“古称荒服,取荒忽之义,非常奉职贡也。故来则拒,去则勿逐,以禽兽畜之,羁縻禦之。譬若猎然,羽毛不入服用,体肉不登郊庙,则王者不射也。况万乘之重,与犬羊蚊虻语负胜哉?远夷左衽,不足以辱天子,亦可见矣。虽然,兵法先声後实,陛下姑班亲征之诏,而敕虓将谋夫投会济师,则吐蕃不日崩破,亦无待躬致天讨也。臣谓岐、陇雕弊积年,若千乘万骑,供亿不涯,诚恐徭役内兴,寇掠外虞,斯人不堪,一也。戎虏之性,骤往倏来,败不耻奔,胜不让成。若大军一临边,怖震鸟散,彼出多方,我受其误,二也。太上皇闻陛下身对寇场,不能无忧,烝烝之思,何以自安?三也。汉蒯成侯谏高帝曰:‘上尝自劳,岂谓无人使哉?’高帝以为爱我。今将相大臣,岂无为陛下宣力者,何亲行之遽邪?”
