《资治通鉴·陈纪·陈纪九》
当初，陈后主由于受伤，不能处理政事，朝廷的大小政事都由长沙王陈叔坚裁决处理，陈叔坚因此权倾朝廷。
初，上病创，不能视事，政无大小，皆决于长沙王叔坚，权倾朝廷。
Back then, Emperor Houzhu of Chen was injured and could not deal with government affairs. All major government affairs were decided and handled by Prince Shujian of Changsha. Thus, Prince Shujian had all the power in the court.
