《旧五代史·后梁·列传十二》
朱友王圭被诛后，末帝在东京即帝位，首先封杨师厚为邺王，加封检校太师、中书令，每次下诏不直呼其名，而以官爵号称呼他，事无巨细，必先与杨师厚商量，杨师厚也颇为骄傲放肆。
友珪既诛，末帝即位于东京，首封师厚为鄴王，加检校太师、中书令。每下诏不名，以官呼之，事无巨细，必先谋于师厚，师厚颇亦骄诞。
After Zhu Youwanggui was executed, Emperor Liang ascended to the throne in Dongjing. He first enfeoffed Yang Shihou as the Prince of Ye and promoted him to Grand Preceptor and Minister of the Central Secretariat. Whenever Emperor Liang issued an imperial edict, he did not call Yang Shihou by his name but by his official title. No matter how big or small the matter was, he would always discuss it with Yang Shihou first. Yang Shihou became quite arrogant and unrestrained.
