《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十七》
他仗着自己能巴结奉承来求得欢心，肆意为自己狡辩，拒绝别人的劝告，他听到灾难要降临而不怕，知道自己的罪恶，却不思改悔，上天要惩罚他，他还能活得长么！ 
恃谄以求容，肆辩以拒谏，闻难而不惧，知恶而不改，天夺其鉴，其能久乎！ 
He relied on his ability to flatter and flatter to win favor, willfully defended himself, and resisted the advice of others. He was not afraid when he heard that disaster was imminent. Knowing his own sins, he did not repent. Heaven was about to punish him. How long could he live!
