Book of Northern Qi, Chapter 25Volume 25 Biographies 17: Zhang Zuan; Zhang Liang; Zhang Yao; Zhang Qi; Xu Yuan; Wang Jun; Wang Hong · 17 passages
帝使燕子獻反縛纮,長廣王捉頭,帝手刃將下,纮曰:「楊遵彥、崔季舒逃走避難,位至僕射、尚書,冒死效命之士,反見屠戮,曠古未有此事。」 The emperor had Yan Zixian bind Hong in reverse, the Prince of Changgang seized his head, and the emperor was about to strike with his blade; Hong said, "Yang Zunyian and Cui Jishu fled to avoid disaster yet rose to vice director and minister; men who risked death in loyal service are instead slaughtered — never in antiquity was there such a thing."
