《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪三十二》
刘牢之对他的儿子刘敬宣说： 王恭过去蒙受先帝的大恩大德，今天又是皇上的舅舅，但是他不能作为羽翼拥戴王室，反而多次向京师发兵，我真不能想象王恭的野心有多大，他的计划一旦实现，他还能继续处在皇上和相王的手下吗？
牢子谓其子敬宣曰； 王恭昔受先帝大恩，今为帝舅，不能翼戴王室，数举兵向京师，吾不能审恭之志，事捷之日，必能为天子相王之下乎？
Liu Laozhi said to his son Liu Jingxuan: Wang Gong once received great grace and virtue from the late emperor, and today he is also the emperor's maternal uncle. But he cannot be the wings that support the imperial family, instead he has sent troops against the capital many times. I really cannot imagine how great Wang Gong's ambition is. If his plan is successful, will he still be able to continue to serve the emperor and the King of Xiang?
