《新唐书·列传·卷三十》
高宗因此大怒，要将武后废为平民，召见上官仪一同商议，上官仪说： 皇后独断专行，恣意行事，朝野上下已失人望，应当废黜她以顺应人心。 
帝因大怒，将废为庶人，召仪与议。仪曰： 皇后专恣，海内失望，宜废之以顺人心。 
Gao Zong was furious as a result and wanted to abolish Wu Hou as a commoner. He summoned Shangguan Yi to discuss it together. Shangguan Yi said: "The Queen is arbitrary and acts as she pleases. The court and the public have lost hope, and she should be abolished to conform to the people's will. "
