《明史·列传·卷一百六十二》
弘图果然上书评论南星，但是书中也讲 国事现已明了，皇上也不应该老是发火  ，皇家监狱中的几个大臣，对他们的生杀应该由刑官的法律来决定 ，很有一些认为忠贤过分的意思。
弘图果疏论南星，然言 国是已明，雷霆不宜频击 ， 诏狱诸臣，生杀宜听司败法 ，则颇谓忠贤过当者。
Hongtu finally wrote an essay to comment on Nanxing, but the essay also stated that "the national policy is now clear, and the Emperor should not still be angry. The life or death of the several ministers in the imperial prison should be subject the law of the criminal justice." The content of the essay implied that Wei Zhongxian should not be too aggressive.
