Book of Southern Qi, Chapter 7Volume 7 Annals 7: Marquess of Donghun · 2 passages

帝在東宮便好弄，不喜書學，高宗亦不以為非，但勗以家人之行。 Even as heir he had loved games and shunned his books; the High Ancestor did not reprove him, only urged the manners of a private household.

高宗臨崩，屬以後事，以隆昌為戒，曰：「作事不可在人後！」 Dying, the High Ancestor charged him with what came next and, citing Longchang as a warning, said: "Never let your deeds lag behind others!"
