有幕客魏琢、牙將申蒙者，因入奏公事，每摭陰事報繼韜云：「朝廷無人，終為河南吞噬，止遲速間耳。」 A staff adviser named Wei Zhuo and a guard officer named Shen Meng, whenever they went to court on official business, would gather private intelligence and report to Jitao, "The court has no real leadership. In the end Henan will swallow us—it is only a question of time."

魏琢、申蒙謂繼韜曰：「國家急召此二人，情可知矣。」 Wei Zhuo and Shen Meng told Jitao, "The court has urgently summoned these two men. You can guess what that means."
