《南史·列传·卷十二》
当时后主对政事十分怠惰，百官的启奏，都要通过太监蔡临儿、李善度呈递请示，后主倚着靠枕，让张贵妃坐在膝上共同决定。
时后主怠于政事，百司啓奏，并因宦者蔡临儿、李善度进请，后主倚隐囊，置张贵妃于膝上共决之。
At the time the king was extremely neglectful of affairs of state. All of the notes submitted by the civil and military officials had to first be passed on through the eunuchs Cai Lin'er and Li Shandu, before the king would prop himself up on his cushions, and have Royal Consort Zhang sit on his lap, and together they would make a decision.
