《史记·十二本纪·孝景本纪》
孝文皇帝在代国的时候，前任王后生有三个男孩，等到窦太后得宠的时候，前任王后去世，她的三个儿子也相继死亡，因此孝景皇帝能够嗣位。
孝文在代时，前有三男，及窦太后得幸，前后死，及三子更死，故孝景得立。
When Emperor Xiao Wen was in Dai, the former queen gave birth to three boys. When Empress Dowager Dou came into favor, the former queen passed away and her three sons died one after another. Therefore, Emperor Xiao Jing was able to succeed to the throne.
