《汉书·传·窦田灌韩传》
天子想任用韩安国为丞相，派人去探望他，发现他跛得很厉害，于是改用平棘侯蓝崖为丞相，垄翅因病免职数月，腿伤痊愈了，皇上再任他为中尉。
上欲用安国为丞相，使使视，蹇甚，乃更以平棘侯薛泽为丞相。安国病免，数月，愈，复为中尉。
The Emperor planned to appoint Han Anguo as Prime Minister, and so he sent someone to visit him, but he saw that his limp was serious, so he instead made Pingjihou Lanyu Prime Minister. Meng Xuanli returned to work several months after recovering from his injury, and the Emperor then appointed him as Prefect of the Palace Guards.
