《资治通鉴·后汉纪·后汉纪三》
不久，前朝官员从四方云集到都城，每天挡拦宰相的马请求封官；辛卯，杨又上奏道： 前朝所授的官员应分住两京，以便等有空缺而补官。 
既而四方云集，日遮宰相马求官。辛卯，邠复奏： 前资官宜分居两京，以俟有阙而补之。 
Soon, officials from the previous dynasties gathered in the capital from all directions, and every day they stopped the prime minister's horse to ask for an official position; on Xinmao, Yang Shang suggested: The officials who were awarded by the previous dynasties should live in the two capitals, so that they can wait for vacancies and fill the official positions.
