《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪二十四》
王猛知道慕容垂的心时间一久就难以信任，偏偏不考虑燕国尚未消灭，慕容垂因为才能杰出、功勋卓著，无罪而被怀疑，穷困无路，才归依秦国，并没有异端之心，而竟要因为猜忌杀害他，这是帮助燕国施行无道而向投奔者关闭门户，这怎么能行呢！
王猛知慕容垂之心久而难信，独不念燕尚未灭，垂以材高功盛，无罪见疑，穷困归秦，未有异心，遽以猜忌杀之，是助燕为无道而塞来者之门也，如何其可哉！
Wang Meng knew that Murong Chui's heart would be difficult to trust for a long time. He insisted on not considering that the state of Yan had not yet been destroyed, and Murong Chui was suspected because of his outstanding talent and meritorious service. Because there was no guilt, the poor and nowhere to go, he turned to Qin State. He didn't have a different heart, but he wanted to kill him because of his suspicion. This was to help the state of Yan implement the immorality and close the door to the seekers. How can this work!
