《资治通鉴·陈纪·陈纪三》
虞寄写信给陈宝应，举出十件事情规劝他说： 自从上天厌恶梁朝德业不修以来，英雄纷起，人人以为天下非已莫属，然而除凶平乱，天下愿意推戴的崐，是陈氏；岂不是有天道运命在，是上天所赐给的吗！
虞寄与宝应书，以十事谏之曰： 自天厌梁德，英雄互起，人人自以为得之，然夷凶翦乱，四海乐推者，陈氏也。岂非历数有在，惟天所授乎！
Yu Ji wrote a letter to Chen Bao Ying, citing ten points to persuade him: Ever since Heaven has been disgusted with Liang Chao for not cultivating virtue, heroes have arisen one after another, and everyone thought that the world was theirs for the taking. However, to quell the chaos and pacify the nation, the one the world is willing to revere, is the Chen clan; is it not that there is a course of Heaven and Destiny, bestowed by the Heavens!
