36.51

寧康元年。大司馬桓溫卒。初溫在姑孰。有異尼來見因求浴。溫竊窺之。見尼裸身以刀破腹斷兩足。出謂溫曰。卿若作天子亦當如是。溫每有異志。故尼見戒。及簡文崩諷朝廷加九錫。謝安王坦之。聞溫病篤密緩其事。文未成而死。其後子玄遷安帝而自立。為義兵見殺。

In the first year of the Ningkang reign era, Grand Marshal Huan Wen passed away. Earlier, when Wen was in Gushu, an extraordinary nun came to see him and asked to bathe. Wen secretly spied on her and saw the nun stripped naked, cutting open her belly with a knife and severing both feet. Coming out, she said to Wen, 'If my lord becomes the Son of Heaven, it will also be like this.' Wen often harbored treasonous intentions; hence the nun appeared to warn him. When Emperor Jianwen died, he hinted to the court that he should be granted the Nine Bestowals. Xie An and Wang Tanzhi, hearing that Wen was critically ill, secretly delayed the matter, and he died before the text was completed. Afterward, his son Xuan deposed Emperor An and established himself, but was killed by righteous troops.
