《新唐书·列传·卷六十六》
有位偏将被判死罪，众将请求用钱赎罪，邓景山不答应；他的弟弟请求代他受刑，邓景山也不答应；他弟弟请求献一匹马来赎罪，邓景山才允许减免了死罪。
有裨校抵死，诸将请赎，不许；其弟请代，不许；请纳一马赎，景山乃许减死。
A Lieutenant General was sentenced to death, and the generals requested to redeem the offence with money, Deng Jingshan refused; His younger brother requested to suffer the punishment on his behalf, Deng Jingshan refused; his younger brother requested to offer a horse to redeem the offence, and only then did Deng Jingshan allow the death sentence to be commuted.
