《汉书·传·何武王嘉师丹传》
何武是前将军，平时与左将军公孙禄相交好，两人单独谋划，认为以前孝惠、孝昭两个年幼的皇上在位的时候，外戚吕、霍、上官把持政权，几乎倾危社稷。现在孝成、孝哀连续两代没有子嗣，止应当挑选任命亲近的人辅佐年幼的皇上，不应让异姓大臣把持政权，亲密和疏远的人相间杂，替国家谋划为便利。
武为前将军，素与左将军公孙禄相善，二人独谋，以为往时孝惠、孝昭少主之世，外戚吕、霍、上官持权，几危社稷，今孝成、孝哀比世无嗣，方当选立亲近辅幼主，不宜令异姓大臣持权，亲疏相错，为国计便。
He Wu was the Leading General, and usually got along well with Left General Gongsun Lue, the two of them made plans separately, and believed that during the reigns of Emperors Xiaohui and Xiaozhao, the empresses' relatives Lü, Huo and Shangguan held power, almost endangered the state. Now that Xiaocheng and Xiaoai had been without heirs for two generations, they should appoint relatives and close relations to assist the young emperor, and should not allow foreign ministers to hold power, and ultimately the state would benefit.
