《北齐书·列传·卷三十八》
孝昭曾经对王晞说： 如果说众人之心都认为天下有所归附，为什么不见彦深说话。 王晞将这件事告诉彦深，彦深不得已，去劝陈，他在当时地位重要到如此地步。
孝昭尝谓王晞云： 若言□心皆谓天下有归，何不见彦深有语。 晞以告，彦深不获已，陈请，其为时重如此。
Xiaozhao once said to Wang Xi: “If it is true that the hearts of the people all believe that the天下 (world) has found its rightful place, why have I not seen Yanshen express such a view?” Wang Xi relayed this to Yanshen, who had no choice but to offer his advice to Chen, such was the importance of his position at that time.
