《旧唐书·列传·卷一百三十三》
侍御史周矩怀疑他心怀奸谋，上奏弹劾他，武则天不准奏；周矩坚持奏请弹劾，武则天说： 你暂且退下，朕立即命令他离去。 
侍御史周矩疑其奸，奏请劾之，不许。固请之，则天曰： 卿且退，朕即令去。 
Imperial Censor Zhou Ju suspected that Xue was plotting rebellion and submitted a memorial to impeach him, but Wu Zetian did not grant permission. Zhou Ju insisted on making the impeachment, so Wu Zetian said, "You may step down for now. I will order him to leave immediately."
