《旧五代史·后梁·末帝纪上》
诏书来到，张彦撕得粉碎，扔到地上，对贺德伦说： 梁朝皇帝不懂时世机务，让人牵着鼻子走，城中纷扰，没有可归依的人。
诏至，张彦坏裂，抵之于地，谓德伦曰： 梁主不达时机，听人穿鼻，城中扰攘，未有所依。
When he received the edict, Zhang Yan tore it up into pieces, threw in on the ground and said to He Delun: "The emperor of the Liang Dynasty does not understand the pressing matters of the times, and lets others lead him around by the nose. The city is in turmoil, with no one to follow."
