《宋书·本纪·卷七》
当时皇上一天比一天凶恶，不断杀人，朝廷内外百官，性命不保。起先传言： 湘中出天子。 
时帝凶悖日甚，诛杀相继，内外百司，不保首领。先是讹言云： 湘中出天子。 
At that time, the emperor was more and more ferocious with each day, he kept killing people and the lives of all the officials inside and outside the court were not guaranteed. At first there was a rumor: The son of Heaven will come out of central Hunan.
