《明史·列传·卷二十九》
这以前，成祖发兵北平，姚广孝向成祖请托方孝孺时说： 兵临城下那一天，孝孺一定不会投降，请不要杀他。
先是，成祖发北平，姚广孝以孝孺为托，曰： 城下之日，彼必不降，幸勿杀之。
Before this, when Emperor Chengzu sent troops to Beiping, Yao Guangxiao pleaded with Emperor Chengzu for Fang Xiaoru, saying, "When the troops arrive at the city gates, Xiaoru will definitely not surrender. Please do not kill him."
