《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五十一》
先帝曾经跟太后生气，几乎废黜太后，我们流着泪进行解救，各人都献出家财千万作为礼物，使先帝缓和下来，只是要托身于你的门下罢了。
先帝尝与太后不快，几至成败，我曹涕泣救解，各出家财千万为礼，和悦上意，但欲托卿门户耳。
The late emperor once got angry with the Empress Dowager and almost deposed her. We shed tears to save her, and each of us gave away tens of millions of family fortunes as gifts, which made the late emperor relax and only wanted to entrust himself to your family.
