崔昭緯素疾磎，諷劉崇魯掠其麻哭之，言：「磎懷奸，與中人楊復恭昵款，其弟為時溥所殺，不可相天子。」 Cui Zhaowei had long resented Xi and prompted Liu Chonglu to snatch his appointment edict and weep over it, saying, "Xi harbors treachery, is on familiar terms with the eunuch Yang Fugong, and his younger brother was killed by Shi Pu—he must not serve as chancellor to the Son of Heaven."
