《明史·列传·卷一百九十二》
刘瑾不学习，每逢批答章奏文书，都拿回自己家中，与妹夫礼部司务孙聪、华亭奸猾之徒张文冕一起商议决定，辞句都很粗俗冗长，之后焦芳为他润色，而李东阳唯有点头而已。
瑾不学，每批答章奏，皆持归私第，与妹婿礼部司务孙聪、华亭大猾张文冕相参决，辞率鄙冗，焦芳为润色之，东阳頫首而已。
Liu Jin was not learned. Whenever he had to reply to written appeals and proposals, he would take them back to his home so he could discuss them with his brother-in-law, Sun Cong, the Director of the Ministry of Rites, and a man named Zhang Wenmian, a cunning man from Huating. Their responses tended to be crude and verbose, and were subsequently revised by Jiao Fang, with Li Dongyang adding little more than a nod.
