《资治通鉴·宋纪·宋纪十一》
刘诞从城楼上把给孝武帝的奏章拿给他看，请求沈庆之能替他呈送给孝武帝。沈庆之说： 我是接受诏令前来讨伐叛贼的，不能替你呈送奏表。
诞于城上授函表，请庆之为送，庆之曰： 我受诏讨贼，不得为汝送表。
Liu Dan held up the report to the Emperor from the tower and asked Shen Qingzhi to deliver it. Shen Qingzhi replied, “I am here dedicated to conquering rebels, and I will not deliver this report for you.”
