《资治通鉴·后梁纪·后梁纪四》
刘没有说话，不高兴，退下来对他亲近的人说： 主上昏暗愚昧，臣下阿谀奉承，将帅骄傲，士兵懈惰；我不知将要死在什么地方！ 
鄩默然，不悦。退谓所亲曰： 主暗臣谀，将骄卒惰，吾未知死所矣！ 
Liu did not speak, was not happy, withdrew, and said to his close followers: "The prince is dim-witted and muddleheaded, the ministers flatter him, the generals are arrogant, and the soldiers are lax. I don't know where I will die!"
