魏徵
In 643, when Emperor Taizong commissioned the Portraits at Lingyan Pavilion to commemorate the 24 great contributors to Tang rule, Gao's portrait was one commissioned. Later in 643, Gao requested to retire from the post of "Pushe". Emperor Taizong agreed, but had him continue to serve as a chancellor "de facto", and also commissioned him and Wei Zheng to lead a project to compile notable literary works into a 1,200-volume compendium known as the "Wensi Boyao" (文思博要).
