《魏书·列传·卷九》
世宗于是下诏说： 王往日崇尚清闲静寂，立志捐弃世间事务，先帝喜爱明察至极，不剥夺这一想法，遣令昭然，准许淡泊退避。
乃诏曰： 王宿尚闲静，志捐世务，先帝爱亮之至，弗夺此情，遗敕炳然，许遂冲退。
Emperor Shizong therefore issued an edict saying: In the past, Wang admired a life of quiet seclusion and had the ambition to abandon worldly affairs. The late emperor cherished him greatly and did not want him to give up this idea. He sent an imperial order to allow him to retreat into obscurity.
