《北齐书·列传·卷三十九》
陛下不将这些事情放在心上，我担心大齐的天下就要丢掉了。 帝道： 你这是诽谤我！ 珽答： 不敢诽谤，陛下娶下人之女为妃。 帝道： 女孩饥饿，我不忍心，就收养了她。 珽说： 为什么不开仓向百姓分发粮食，却要收买民女放置后宫？ 帝听后越发恼怒，用刀环筑打珽的嘴，接着又用鞭子乱抽，想把他打死。
陛下不以为意，臣恐大齐之业隳矣。 帝曰： 尔乃诽谤我！ 珽曰： 不敢诽谤，陛下取人女。 帝曰： 我以其俭饿，故收养之。 珽曰： 何不开仓赈给，乃买取将入后宫乎？ 帝益怒，以刀环筑口，鞭杖乱下，将扑杀之。
"Your Majesty, you do not take these things seriously. I fear that the land of Qi will be lost." The Emperor said, "You are slandering me!" Ting answered, "I would not dare to slander. Your Majesty has made a commoner's daughter a consort." The Emperor said, "The girl was hungry and I couldn't bear to see it, so I took her in." Ting said, "Why didn't you open the granaries and give food to the people, but instead had palace women buy food for the girl?" The Emperor was more furious, and he used a knife pommel to hit Ting's mouth, then whipped him randomly and planned to beat him to death.
