《元史·列传·卷九十一》
礼毕，加恩于邦宁的三代：对其曾祖颐，赠银青光禄大夫、司徒，谥敬懿；祖父德懋、父扌为也各有所封赠。仁宗即位，以邦宁为旧臣，赐钞千锭，辞谢不受。以前，当仁宗还在当皇太子时，丞相三宝奴等当权，他们骇怕仁宗的英明，心里想去掉仁宗。邦宁揣度三宝奴的意图，便出面对武宗说： 你年事已高，皇子已渐长大，应立为太子，这是自古以来天经地义的道理，从没听说皇帝自己有儿子还立弟弟的。 
初，仁宗为皇太子，丞相三宝奴等用事，畏仁宗英明，邦宁揣知其意，言于武宗曰： 陛下富于春秋，皇子渐长，父作子述，古之道也。未闻有子而立弟者。 
When the sacrifices were finished, the Emperor rewarded Bang Ning's three generations. His grandfather was posthumously honored with the title Minister of State and Chief of the Six Ministries, and given the posthumous name Respectful and Dutiful. His father was also granted posthumous honors. When the Emperor Renzong ascended the throne, he conferred a thousand ingots of silver on Bang Ning, who declined the gift. Previously, when the Emperor Renzong was still Crown Prince, the Chief Minister Samdanu and others had been in power. They had been afraid of the Crown Prince's intelligence and wanted to remove him. Bang Ning surmised what Samdanu was up to and went to the Emperor Wuzong and said,"You are getting old and the Crown Prince is already grown up, so you should appoint him heir to the throne. It has always been just and natural; I have never heard of an emperor passing over his own son and appointing a younger brother."
