是時朝廷政事多委東宮，不害與舍人庾肩吾直日奏事，梁武帝嘗謂肩吾曰：「卿是文學之士，吏事非卿所長，何不使殷不害來邪？」 At that time many court and government affairs were entrusted to the eastern palace. Buhai and attendant Yu Jianwu attended on the days of direct audience to report affairs. Emperor Wu of Liang once told Jianwu, "You are a man of letters; clerical business is not your strength—why not have Yin Buhai come instead?"
