《明史·列传·卷一百七十六》
朝廷决议起用年老旧臣，因召维桢为南京太仆寺卿，随即改为太常寺卿，维桢闻知谏官对他有些议论，故辞谢不去就职。
会朝议登用耆旧，召为南京太仆卿，旋改太常，未赴。闻谏官有言，辞不就。
The court decided to appoint old former officials again, so it summoned Weizhen as the head of Nanjing Taipu Temple, and then changed it to the head of Tai Chang Temple. After Wei Zhen learned about it, he heard that some censor had some opinions on him, so he resigned and wouldn’t take it.
