《周书·本纪·卷五》
世宗经常赞叹说： 这个人平常不多说话，一说话就说到点子上。 武成二年夏季四月，世宗去世，死前下诏将帝位传给高祖。
世宗每叹曰： 夫人不言，言必有中。 武成二年夏四月，世宗崩，遗诏传帝位于高祖。
Throneholder would often praise him and say: This person doesn’t talk much at normal times, but when he does, he always hits the nail on the head. In the fourth month of spring in the second year of Wucheng, Throneholder passed away. Before he died, he issued a decree to pass the throne to Emperor Gaozu.
