《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十七》
太子对梁武帝说： 侯景这个叛贼只是以杀朱异等人为借口罢了，今天您即使杀掉了朱异，对当前的紧急情况也无济于事，只会被后人耻笑，等到平定侯景之后再来杀掉他也不晚！ 
太子曰： 贼以异等为名耳；今日杀之，无救于急，适足贻笑将来，俟贼平，诛之未晚。 
The crown prince said to Emperor Wu of Liang: “This rebel Jing is just using the killing of Zhu Yi and the others as an excuse. Even if you kill Zhu Yi today, it won’t help the current emergency. Instead, you’ll only be ridiculed by future generations. You can wait until you defeat Jing, and then execute him!”
