少從姚樞、竇默受《孝經》，及終卷，世祖大悅，設食饗樞等。 In his youth he studied the Classic of Filial Piety under Yao Shu and Dou Mo. When he finished the text, Shizu was delighted and gave a feast in their honor.

時姚樞、竇默、許衡，皆世祖所敬信者，文統諷世祖授樞為太子太師，默為太子太傅，衡為太子太保，外佯尊之，實不欲使朝夕備顧問於左右也。 Yao Shu, Dou Mo, and Xu Heng were men Shizu trusted; Wentong had him appoint them Grand Tutor, Grand Mentor, and Grand Guardian of the Heir—honors in name meant to keep them from daily counsel at court.

默嘗與王鶚及樞、衡俱侍世祖，面詆文統曰：「此人學術不正，必禍天下，不可處以相位。」 Mo once attended Shizu with Wang E, Yao Shu, and Xu Heng and denounced Wentong to his face: "This man's learning is unsound; he will ruin the realm and must not hold the chancellorship."

默以許衡對，世祖不懌而罷。 Mo named Xu Heng; Shizu was displeased and ended the audience.

猶召竇默、姚樞、王鶚、僧子聰及張柔等至，示以前書曰：「汝等謂文統當得何罪？」 He then summoned Dou Mo, Yao Shu, Wang E, the monk Zicong, Zhang Rou, and others, showed them the document, and asked, "What punishment does Wentong deserve?"
