《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十七》
过了二十余日，王嘉封还为董贤增加封国户数的诏书，哀帝于是大怒，召王嘉到尚书那里，令尚书责问他： 梁相等人前些时犯了对天子不忠之罪，罪恶昭著，人所共闻，当时你也曾自我弹劾。现在却又称誉赞美他们，说 为朝廷怜惜他们 ，这是为什么？ 
后二十馀日，嘉封还益董贤户事，上乃发怒，召嘉诣尚书，责问以 相等前坐不忠，罪恶著闻，君时辄已自劾；今又称誉，云 为朝廷惜之 ，何也？ 
Over twenty days later, Wang Jia returned the imperial edict granting an increased number of households to Dong Xian. Emperor Ai was furious and summoned Wang Jia to the Shangshu office. He ordered the Shangshu to question him, “Liang Xiang and the others had committed the crime of disloyalty to the Emperor some time ago. Their evil was obvious and well-known by all. You also impeached yourself then. Why is it that you now commend and praise them, saying that you pity them on behalf of the imperial court?”
