Is “Regarding the specific words spoken by Liang Su when recommending Cui Qun to Lu Zhi during Lu Zhi's tenure as examiner, the two histories differ in their accounts.” true?
histories differ
The Old Book of Tang, in the biography of Wei Cigong, Zheng Yin, Wei Chuhou, Cui Qun, and Lu Sui, records in detail that when Lu Zhi consulted Liang Su, Liang Su replied: 「崔群虽少年，他日必至公辅。」 In contrast, the New Book of Tang, in the biographies of the three Zhengs, Gao, and Cui, merely summarizes the gist as: 「陆贽主贡举，梁肃荐其有公辅才，擢甲科」, without directly quoting his specific words.
Lu Zhi
When Lu Zhi was in charge of the imperial examination, the specific words of Liang Su's recommendation of Cui Qun are recorded with different levels of detail in the two histories.
