《新唐书·列传·卷四》
有一次，高祖召集诸王宴飨，秦王思念其母早逝而不见拥有天下，故而独自悲泣，高祖见此很不高兴，诸妃趁机加以中伤，为建成游说： 如今海内无事，陛下年事已高，应当娱乐自己，秦王感愤悲泣，正因忌恨我等。
帝召诸王燕，秦王感母之不及有天下也，偶独泣，帝顾不乐，妃媛因得中伤之，为建成游说曰： 海内无事，陛下春秋高，当自娱，秦王辄悲泣，正为嗔忌妾属耳。
Once, Gao Zu gathered the kings for a banquet. The King of Qin thought of his mother's early death and did not see himself possessing the world, so he wept alone. Gao Zu was very unhappy to see this. The concubines took the opportunity to slander him and lobbied for Jiancheng, saying, "Now that there is no trouble in the world, and Your Majesty is old, you should entertain yourself. The King of Qin is resentful and weepy, because he resents us.
