《旧唐书·本纪·卷十六》
当时朝臣们议论，认为朱克融能够保全张弘靖的性命，而王廷凑却杀害了田弘正，可以赦免朱克融而诛杀王廷凑，因而颁发了这道诏书。
时朝议以克融能保全弘靖，王廷凑杀害弘正，可赦燕而诛赵，故有是诏。
At that time, the ministers discussed that Zhu Kerong was able to save Zhang Hongjing's life, while Wang Tingcou killed Tian Hongzheng, so Zhu Kerong could be pardoned and Wang Tingcou executed, so this edict was issued.
