〈（《九國誌·趙季良傳》：莊宗入鄴，時兵革屢興，屬邑租賦逋久。 (The 《Nine States Chronicle · Biography of Zhao Jiliang》 says when Zhuangzong entered Ye the armies had been in the field for years and district taxes were far in arrears.

一日，莊宗召季良切責之，季良對曰：「殿下何時平河南？」 One day Zhuangzong called Jiliang in and rebuked him sharply. Jiliang said, "When will Your Highness finish the south of the River?"

季良曰：「殿下方謀攻守，復務急征，一旦眾心有變，恐河南非殿下所有。」 Jiliang said, "You are fighting for the south yet squeezing the districts—if the army turns in a day, the south of the River may not be yours."
