周太祖入京城，軍士攻再榮之第，迫脅再榮，盡取財貨既，軍士前啟曰：「某等軍健，常趨事麾下，一旦無禮至此，今後何顏謁見？」 When Taizu of Zhou entered the capital, soldiers stormed Zairong's house and forced him to hand over everything he owned. Then one of them said, "We have always served under you, sir. After treating you so shamefully, how can we ever face you again?"
