《汉书·传·元后传》
平帝衹有九岁，那年还生了病，就由太后临朝听政，将朝政托付给王莽，王莽就仗势弄权，擅作威福。
帝年九岁，当年被疾，太后临朝，委政于莽，莽颛威福。
Emperor Ping was only nine years old, and that year he also fell ill, so the empress dowager took over the government, entrusting the government to King Mang, who took advantage of his position to seize power and wield power and influence.
