《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十八》
王舜也哀恸落泪，不能自止。过了很久，王舜才抬头问太后： 我等已无话可说，只是王莽一定要得到传国御玺，太后难道能够最终不给他吗？ 
舜亦悲不能自止，良久，乃仰谓太后： 臣等已无可言者。莽必欲得传国玺，太后宁能终不与邪？ 
Wang Shun also wept in sorrow, unable to stop himself. After a long time, Wang Shun looked up and asked the queen mother: we have nothing to say, but Wang Mang must get the jade seal. Can the queen mother give it to him in the end?
