後上朝東宮，太后泣曰：「帝間顏色瘦黑，班侍中本大將軍所舉，宜寵異之，益求其比，以輔聖德。 Later, when the emperor came to court at the Eastern Palace, the Empress Dowager wept and said, "The emperor's complexion has lately grown thin and dark. Palace Attendant Ban was first recommended by the Grand General; he should receive exceptional favor. Seek out more men like him, so they may support your sagely virtue.

時書不布，自東平思王以叔父求太史公、諸子書，大將軍白不許。 Because palace books were still withheld from the public, the Prince of Dongping's request, as imperial uncle, for Sima Qian's histories and the masters' treatises was refused when the Grand General reported against it.
