《资治通鉴·宋纪·宋纪十》
孝武帝此时也正独揽大权以显示自己的威严和权要。可是，臧质却把他当成一个不懂事的少年君主来对待，因此，有关行政、刑法和庆贺奖赏之类的事情，他都一律不奏请刘骏批准。
帝方自揽威权，而质以少主遇之，政刑庆赏，一不咨禀。
At this time, Emperor Xiaowu was also monopolizing power in order to show his own authority and importance. However, Zang Zhi treated him as an ignorant young monarch, and so he did not ask Liu Jun's permission for anything related to administration, criminal law, or awards and punishments.
