Notes and references

  1. ^ Lou's biography in the Book of Tang gave the 699 date for his death, and while his biography in the New Book of Tang gave 700 instead, both the table of chancellors and the chronology of Wu Zetian's reign also gave 699. Compare Book of Tang, vol. 93[1] and New Book of Tang, vols. 61[2] and 4[3] with New Book of Tang, vol. 108.[4]
