《魏书·列传·卷九》
臣下获得太傅宰相地位，时间不到一年，难以宽恕的罪过，显露出来的不仅一种，以什么情形而居处，有什么脸面而生存，虽然经过恩典原宥，还有多余的责任，恭谨回到家中，伏地听凭法官发落。
臣位荷师相，年未及终，难恕之罪，显露非一，何情以处，何颜以生？虽经恩宥，犹有余责，谨反私门，伏听司败。
Your subject rose to the state of Imperial Tutor and Prime Minister in less than a year, and the crimes that could not be excused were not limited to one type; under what circumstances can I live and how can I keep my reputation? Although I was pardoned by imperial favor, I still have my own responsibilities; I returned home with caution and kneeled on the ground waiting for the judge to determine the outcome of my case.
