《容斋随笔·卷十一·汉唐封禅》
不久又想实行大臣们的请求，唯独魏征认为不可以，他发出六次责难来争辩、甚到说祭祀天地的大典是崇尚虚妄的名声而会造成实际的好处，由于碰上黄河南北发生大水灾，这件事就停止了。
已而欲从其请，魏郑公独以为不可，发六难以争之，到以谓崇虚名而受实害。会河南、北大水、遂寝。
Not long after, he again considered fulfilling the requests of the officials, only Wei Zheng argued against it, stating his objections six times. He even said that the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was pursuing a vain reputation and would result in no real benefits. As a great flood occurred north and south of the Yellow River, the matter was dropped.
