《北齐书·列传·卷三十》
有囚徒数百名，世宗想全部杀了他们，每每催促公文案卷，崔暹故意推延逭件事，不按时进呈，世宗心意宽解，囚徒终于因此得免。
有囚数百，世宗尽欲诛之，每催文帐。暹故缓之，不以时进，世宗意释，竟以获免。
There were hundreds of prisoners, and Emperor Xiaowu wanted to have them all killed. He repeatedly urged the document for their execution, and Cui Xian intentionally delayed this matter and did not submit it on time. Emperor Xiaowu's anger was thus calmed, and the prisoners were finally spared.
