及廢帝起兵鳳翔，湣帝出奔，知溫乘間有窺覦之意，謂其司馬李沖曰：「吾有錢數屋，養兵數千，因時建義，功必有成。」 When the Deposed Emperor raised troops at Fengxiang and the Lamented Emperor fled, Zhiwen saw his chance and told his chief administrator Li Chong: “I have money to fill several rooms and thousands under arms. Seize the moment, raise a righteous cause, and merit is sure.”
