《唐书·卢承庆传》中讲了一个卢承庆考绩的故事。卢承庆在唐太宗时任“考功员外郎”,是吏部专门负责官吏考绩评功的。当时有一个负责运粮的官员,由于粮船沉没的事故,曾受到过处分。卢承庆给他考绩的时候,把他评了个“中下”,并且通知他本人。那人没有意见,也没有任何疑惧的表情,于是就这么定了。卢承庆回头一想,觉得粮船沉没,不是他个人的责任,也不是他个人的力量所能挽救的。考虑之后.决定改评为“中中”,并再次通知他本人。那人也没有意见,也没有表示激动或感谢之类。 “Biography of Lu Chengqing Tang” tells a story of Lu Chengqing performance. Lu Chengqing in the Taizong Tang as “examiners outside Lang”, is the official department responsible for official performance evaluation. At that time, an official responsible for transporting food had been punished because of the accidental sinking of the grain carrier. When Lu Chengqing gave him a performance test, he rated him a “middle and lower” and informed himself. The man had no opinion, nor any expression of doubt, so he set it. Lu Chengqing looked back and thought that the sunken grain vessel was not his personal responsibility nor was it saved by his personal power. After considering it, he decided to change it to “middle school” and notify him again. The man also did not comment, nor did he express any excitement or gratitude.
