《旧五代史·后梁·末帝纪下》
末帝召来控鹤都将皇甫麟，对他说： 我与太原晋人是世仇，不能死在他们的刀斧之下。您可以结束我的性命，不要让我落入他们的手中。 
帝召控鹤都将皇甫麟，谓之曰： 吾与晋人世仇，不可俟彼刀锯，卿可尽我命，无令落仇人之手。 
The last emperor summoned general Huangfu Lin, who was in charge of the imperial guards, and told him: I am the archenemy of the people of Jìn in Taiyuan, and I cannot die under their axe. You may end my life, so that I do not fall into their hands.
