《新唐书·列传·卷四十五》
那时，武三思因武后被迁往上阳宫的事怀恨在心，又担心武家人会有不利。韦后此时受皇帝宠幸至极。武三思与她有了奸情，借此勾结一起在皇帝面前说桓彦范等人的坏话，皇帝不由得听信了。
时武三思以迁太后衔恚，虑不利诸武，而韦后雅为帝宠畏，且三思与蒸乱，由是朋谗奇中。未几，罢彦范等政事。
At that time, because Wu Sansi hated Wu Zetian for moving Shangyang Palace, he was also worried that the Wu family would be in trouble. Wei Hou was very much favored by the Emperor now. Wu Sansi and her had an affair, and took this opportunity to collude together to badmouth Huan Yanfan and others in front of the Emperor, and the Emperor couldn't help but believe them.
