永明元年，敬兒誅，超宗謂丹陽尹李安民曰：「往年殺韓信，今年殺彭越，尹欲何計？」 In Yongming year one, when Jing'er was executed, Chaozong told Li Anmin: "Last year Han Xin; this year Peng Yue — what will you do, Governor?"

與張敬兒周旋，許結姻好，自敬兒死後，惋歎忿慨。 He dealt with Zhang Jing'er and promised marriage; after Jing'er's death he raged in resentment.

今月初詣李安民，語論『張敬兒不應死』。 Early this month he told Li Anmin that Zhang Jing'er ought not to have died.

安民道『敬兒書疏，墨迹炳然，卿何忽作此語』？ Anmin said: 'Jing'er's letters — the evidence is clear — how can you say this?'

張敬兒潛圖反噬，罰未塞諐，而稱怨痛枉，形于言貌。 Zhang Jing'er plotted rebellion; punishment had not settled all guilt, yet Chaozong spoke of wrongful death openly.
