《管子·小称》
但是驱逐了堂巫，却生了怪病；驱逐了易牙，却感到食味不佳；驱逐了竖刁而宫中混乱；驱逐了公子开方而感到自己的朝政没有条理。
逐堂巫而苛病起兵，逐易牙而味不至，逐竖刁而宫中乱，逐公子开方而朝不治。
However, after expelling Tang Wu, he developed a strange disease; after expelling Yi Ya, he felt that the food did not taste good; after expelling Shu Diao, the palace was in chaos; after expelling Gongzi Kaifang, he felt that his government was not in order.
