Book of Chen, Chapter 36Volume 36: Chen Shuling, Prince of Shixing; Chen Bogu, Prince of Xin'an · 18 passages
伯固雅性輕率,好行鞭捶,在州不知政事,日出田獵,或乘眠轝至於草間,輒呼民下從遊,動至旬日,所捕獐鹿,多使生致,高宗頗知之,遣使責讓者數矣。 Bogu was frivolous by nature and fond of the whip. In his province he ignored government, hunted by day, sometimes rode a sleeping litter into the meadows, and called commoners to join him for outings that could last ten days. The deer and boar he took he mostly had brought in alive. Emperor Gaozong knew of it and sent envoys to rebuke him more than once.
