《新五代史·列传·唐臣传第十六》
当初，孟知祥在北京任马步军都虞候，而何瓒留守太原，孟知祥按军礼事奉何瓒，何瓒常常依熙法律来要求他，孟知祥开始不高兴，到何瓒任司马时，还是勉强对他很好。
初，知祥在北京为马步军都虞候，而瓚留守太原，知祥以军礼事瓚，瓚常绳以法，知祥初不乐，及瓚为司马，犹勉待之甚厚。
When Meng Zhixiang had previously been the Combined Cavalry and Infantry Commissioner in Beijing, He Zan had been in charge of Taiyuan. Meng Zhixiang treated He Zan with the respect due a military superior. He Zan often used military law to strictly discipline him, so Meng Zhixiang already disliked him. When He Zan became the Sima (coordinator), he still had difficulty treating him well.
