〈（《隆平集·王審琦傳》：世宗征淮，舒州堅壁不下，以郭令圖為刺史，命審琦、司超將兵攻城，一夕拔之。 (The Longping Collection records that during the Huainan campaign Shuzhou resisted stubbornly until Guo Lingtu was appointed prefect and Wang Shenqi and Si Chao stormed it in a single night.

審琦方進軍援黃州，聞令圖被逐，乃選騎銜枚襲城，夜敗其眾而復納之。）〉 Shenqi was marching to relieve Huangzhou; learning of Lingtu's expulsion, he sent cavalry on a silent night raid, routed the rioters, and restored Lingtu to office.)〉
