Book of Wei, Chapter 86Volume 81: Qi Jun, Shan Wei, Liu Renzhi, Yuwen Zhongzhi · 21 passages
國史自鄧淵、崔琛、崔浩、高允、李彪、崔光以還,諸人相繼撰錄,綦儁及偉等諂說上黨王天穆及尒朱世隆,以為國書正應代人修緝,不宜委之餘人,是以儁、偉等更主大籍。 Since Deng Yuan, Cui Chen, Cui Hao, Gao Yun, Li Biao, and Cui Guang, the national history had been compiled in turn by successive scholars; Qi Jun, Wei, and others flattered Shangdang Prince Tianmu and Erzhu Shilong, arguing that the state annals ought to be edited by men of Dai and not entrusted to outsiders—so Jun, Wei, and their circle again took charge of the great registers.
