《明史·列传·卷一百九十三》
这时御史李应升就内操的事进谏，给事中霍守典因魏忠贤乞求祠堂匾额而进谏，御史刘廷佐以魏忠贤滥加荫封进谏，给事中沈惟炳以设枷锁进谏，魏忠贤都假传圣旨给予斥责。
是时御史李应升以内操谏，给事中霍守曲以忠贤乞祠额谏，御史刘廷佐以忠贤滥荫谏，给事中沈惟炳以立枷谏，忠贤皆矫旨诘责。
At that time, the Censor Li Yingsheng remonstrated about the inner palace; the Censor-in-Chief Huo Shoudian remonstrated about Wei Zhongxian’s begging for a ceremonial plaque for the ancestral hall; the Censor Liu Tingzuo remonstrated about Wei Zhongxian’s excessive use of Imperial favour in rewarding positions, and the Censor-in-Chief Shen Weiping remonstrated about the use of cangue. Wei Zhongxian used a false Imperial edict to reprove them all.
