《汉书·传·武五子传》
前王知道这件事之后则说： 让这些宫人看守园子，得病的不给治病，相互斗殴杀伤不法办制裁，就是让她们快点死，太守为什么要放她们回家呢？ 
故王闻之曰： 中人守园，疾者当勿治，相杀伤者当勿法，欲令亟死，太守奈何而欲罢之？ 
After the late king learned about this, he said: "These palace maids are guarding the garden. If they get sick, they are not given medical treatment. If they fight and injure each other, they are not punished. I want them to die quickly. Why did the governor release them and send them home?"
