《明史·列传·卷十八》
燕王称帝的第二年，刑部尚书郑赐、都御史陈瑛弹劾耿炳文，原因是因为炳文的衣服、器皿上有龙凤的图饰，用红革呈做玉带，他的这些行为已是大逆不道。
文守辽东，瓛数请攻永平以动北平，文不听。
In the second year of the Yan king's reign, Zheng Ci, the Minister of Justice, and Chen Ying, the Metropolitan Commissioner, impeached Geng Bingwen because his clothes and utensils were decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and he used red leather to make a jade belt. His behaviors were already treasonous.
