《汉书·传·眭两夏侯京翼李传》
霍光认为群臣向东宫上奏政事，太后视察政务，应该了解经术，于是就让夏侯胜给太后讲授《尚书》。
光以为群臣奏事东宫，太后省政，宜知经术，白令胜用《尚书》授太后。
Huo Guang thought that since the ministers submitted policies to the crown prince and the empress reviewed political affairs, they should understand classics and ordered Xiahou Sheng to lecture the empress on the Classic of Documents.
