高宗總章二年，司列少常伯裴行儉始設長名榜，引銓注法，復定州縣升降為八等，其三京、五府、都護、都督府，悉有差次，量官資授之。 In Gaozong's Zongzhang 2, Pei Xingjian created the long-name roster and nomination rules, ranked prefectures and counties in eight grades, and set posting sequences for the capitals, major prefectures, protectorates, and area commands according to rank and seniority.

高宗上元二年，以嶺南五管、黔中都督府得即任土人，而官或非其才，乃遣郎官、御史為選補使，謂之「南選」。 In Gaozong's Shangyuan 2, because the south could appoint locals who were not always capable, aides and censors were sent as selection commissioners—the "southern selection."
