《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪八》
窦太后说： 吴王是宗室中的老人，理应为宗室做忠于朝廷的表率；但他却首先发难，率领七国叛乱，扰乱天下，为什么给他续后！ 
窦太后曰： 吴王，老人也，宜为宗室顺善；今乃首率七国纷乱天下，奈何续其后！ 
Empress Dowager Dou said: The King of Wu is the elder in the royal family who should have been a role model of loyalty to the imperial court, but he was the first to rebel, leading the seven kingdoms to revolt and causing chaos in the world. Why should he have a successor?
