《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十七》
霍光的妻子霍显听说刘被立为太子，气得饭也吃不下，并吐了血，说： 刘是皇上为平民时生的儿子，怎能被立为皇太子！
霍显闻立太子，怒恚不食，欧血，曰： 此乃民间时子，安得立！
Huo Guang's wife, Huo Xian, heard that Liu was made the crown prince, and she was so angry that she could not eat and vomited blood. She said: "Liu is the son of the emperor when he was a commoner. How can he be made the crown prince!"
