《明史·列传·卷八》
神宗久久不立太子，朝中内外大臣怀疑郑贵妃谋立自己的儿子，便纷纷就此事上奏，尽管许多人相继被贬官放逐，但仍不断有上奏反对者。
帝久不立太子，中外疑贵妃谋立己子，交章言其事，窜谪相踵，而言者不止。
Shenzong did not appoint a prince for a long time, and the ministers in and out of the court suspected that Concubine Zheng was trying to establish his own son, so they all filed impeachment. Although many people were demoted and exiled one after another, there were still constant opponents filing impeachment.
