《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪八》
尔朱荣的崐堂弟尔朱世隆，当时任直官，胡太后派他到晋阳慰问安抚尔朱荣。尔朱荣打算留下尔朱世隆，尔朱世隆说道： 朝廷现在怀疑兄长您，所以才派我来您这里，现在您却要留下我，这就会使得朝廷能够预先做好防备，不是好计策呀。 
荣从弟世隆，时为直阁，太后遣诣晋阳慰谕荣；荣欲留之，世隆曰： 朝廷疑兄，故遣世隆来，今留世隆，使朝廷得预为之备，非计也。 
Erzhu Rong's younger cousin Erzhu Shilong was at that time serving as a zhiguan official. Empress Dowager Hu sent him to Jinyang to comfort and appease Erzhu Rong. Erzhu Rong intended to keep Erzhu Shilong, but Erzhu Shilong said: The court now suspects that elder brother, and so has sent me here to you. Now you want to keep me. This will only allow the court to prepare their defenses, and is not a good plan.
