《宋书·列传·卷八十四》
当时刘胡兵众强盛，朝廷内外非常担心，太宗想安定人心，派吏部尚书褚渊到虎槛选用将帅以下人物作朝廷官吏。申谦之、杜幼文用这机会请求做黄门郎，沈怀明，刘亮请求做中书郎，建安王刘休仁叫褚渊接受将帅的要求，太宗不允许。
时胡等兵众强盛，远近疑惑。太宗欲绥慰人情，遣吏部尚书褚渊至虎槛选用将帅以下，申谦之、杜幼文因此求黄门郎，沈怀明、刘亮求中书郎。
At that time, Liu Hu's army was growing stronger, and both the court and the people outside the court were very worried. Emperor Taizong wanted to stabilize people's hearts, so he sent Minister of Personnel Chu Yuan to Hujian to select generals and below to serve as court officials. Shen Qianzhi and Du Youwen took this opportunity to request to be Yellow Gate Lang, Shen Huaiming and Liu Liang requested to be Zhongshu Lang, King Jian'an Liu Xiuren asked Chu Yuan to accept the request of the generals, but Emperor Taizong did not allow it.
