《资治通鉴·宋纪·宋纪十五》
中兵参军京兆人王敬先劝刘休若说： 现在，皇上病重正处在弥留之际，朝廷大权握在省之手，一群奸恶之徒，来势汹汹，准备把皇上的兄弟全部崐铲除，以此来满足自己的私欲。
中兵参军京兆王敬先说休若曰： 今主上弥留，政成省阁，群竖恟々，欲悉去宗支以便其私。
Wang Jingxian, the staff officer of the Central Military Commission from Jingzhao, advised Liu Xiuruo and said: Now the emperor is seriously ill and is at the point of death. The great power of the court is in the hands of the province. A group of treacherous villains are threatening and are preparing to eliminate all the emperor’s brothers in order to satisfy their own selfish desires.
