《新五代史·本纪·唐本纪第七》
那时，明宗年龄已大，王比其他几个儿子年长，枢密使安从诲觉得他是个祸根，就假传诏命叫河中裨将杨彦温把他除掉。
是时，明宗春秋已高，王于诸子次最长，枢密使安重诲患之，乃矫诏河中裨将杨彦温使图之。
At that time, Emperor Mingzong was already old, and Wang Congke was the eldest among his other brothers. Because the Privy Envoy An Chongyu considered Wang Congke a threat, he forged an edict and ordered Yang Yanwen, the auxiliary general of Hedong Circuit, to eliminate him.
