《明史·列传·卷一百九十六》
皇上心中以为然，把大学士韩火广单独召到内殿，对他说大臣们不忧国，只是挟私怨相互攻击，应当从重绳之以法。
帝心以为然，独召大学士韩爌等于内殿，谕诸臣不忧国，惟挟私相攻，当重绳以法。
The Emperor agreed and summoned Grand Secretary Han Huoguang alone to the inner殿. He told him that the ministers were not thinking about the country, but were only attacking each other out of personal grievances, and that they should be punished severely.
