《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪十五》
薛万彻临刑前大声言道： 薛万彻也算是个豪杰，留着为国家效力，岂不是更好吗？只因受房遗爱牵连就杀掉他吗！ 
万彻临刑大言曰： 薛万彻大健儿，留为国家效死力，岂不佳，乃坐房遗爱杀之乎！ 
Xue Wan Che declared loudly before his execution, "Xue Wan Che is considered a hero, would it not be better to let him live and serve the country? Should he be killed simply because he was implicated by Fang Yiai!"
