《明史·列传·卷八十》
张翀等于是拿出朝臣弹劾桂萼等人的奏本，送给刑部，要他们向皇上申请按察，并且私下里对他们说： 只要皇上也说一声 是 ，就马上打死他们。 
翀等乃取廷臣劾萼等章疏，送刑部令上请，且私相语曰： 倘上亦云是者，即扑杀之。 
Zhang Chong and others gave the memorial impeaching Gui E and others to the Ministry of Justice, asking that they request the emperor approve an investigation. They said in private, if the emperor says "yes," they should be executed on the spot.
