Book of Wei, Chapter 86Volume 81: Qi Jun, Shan Wei, Liu Renzhi, Yuwen Zhongzhi · 4 passages

及尒朱世隆等誅，齊獻武王赴洛，止於邙山。 After Erzhu Shilong and his faction were put to death, King Xianwu of Qi marched to Luoyang and camped at Mount Mang.

偉挾附世隆，遂封東阿縣伯，而法顯止獲男爵。 Wei relied on Shilong's patronage and was enfeoffed Baron of Dong'e, while Faxian received only a baron's rank.

國史自鄧淵、崔琛、崔浩、高允、李彪、崔光以還，諸人相繼撰錄，綦儁及偉等諂說上黨王天穆及尒朱世隆，以為國書正應代人修緝，不宜委之餘人，是以儁、偉等更主大籍。 Since Deng Yuan, Cui Chen, Cui Hao, Gao Yun, Li Biao, and Cui Guang, the national history had been compiled in turn by successive scholars; Qi Jun, Wei, and others flattered Shangdang Prince Tianmu and Erzhu Shilong, arguing that the state annals ought to be edited by men of Dai and not entrusted to outsiders—so Jun, Wei, and their circle again took charge of the great registers.
