《明史·列传·卷七十九》
况且安陆是恭穆始封的疆土，是恭穆的神灵留恋的地方，又是陛下您发达起来的地方，王气聚集彼处，我们太祖皇帝重视中都，太宗皇帝重视留都，都是因为那里是王业成就的初址，应该世代祭祀、维修。
且安陆为恭穆启封之疆，神灵所恋，又陛下龙兴之地，王气所钟。故我太祖重中都，太宗重留都，皆以王业所基，永修世祀。
Moreover, Anlu is the fiefdom where Gongmu was first enfeoffed, the place where Gongmu's spirit dwells, and the place where Your Majesty flourished. The royal aura gathers there. Our Taizu Emperor attached importance to the Central Capital, and Emperor Taizong attached importance to the secondary capital because they were the original sites where the royal cause was achieved. They should be sacrificed and maintained for generations.
