《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪二十六》
朕当时请求中宗选择贤明的儿子立为皇帝以避免灾祸，但中宗很不高兴，朕也因此而担忧恐惧以至于几天吃不下饭。
朕时请中宗择贤子立之以应灾异，中宗不悦，朕忧恐，数日不食。
At that time, I requested Zhongzong to choose his most talented son to be the emperor in order to avoid calamity, but Zhongzong was very disappointed, and as a result of this, I became fearful and worried so that for several days I could not eat.
