《宋书·志·卷二十七》
当初选送帝微贱时，攘人基尘公说： 谶书说：刘秀发兵清除无道之人，卯金修养德行要作天子。 
初，光武微时，穰人蔡少公曰： 谶言刘秀发兵捕不道，卯金修德为天子。 
Originally, when they nominated Emperor Wei who came from a humble background, the Qi Ren Ji Chen gong said: “The prophecy book says that Liu Xiu will dispatch troops to eliminate the wicked people, and Jin Xiu will cultivate virtues to become the emperor.”
