《容斋随笔·卷十一·汉景帝忍杀》
周亚夫因为有战功当了丞相，又因为给匈奴的降将争得封爵而犯罪，后来由于生病幸免于难。汉景帝对他十分厌恶，曾经赐给饮食但不给安排碗筷，呵斥他让他站起来，十分违背尊敬礼待大臣的道义，最后根据不正当的罪名把周亚夫置于死地，可悲呀！
周亚夫以功为丞相，坐争封匈奴降将事病免，心恶之，赐食不置箸，叱之使起，昧于敬礼大臣之义，卒以非罪置之死，悲哉！
Zhou Yafu became the prime minister because of his military exploits. He was later found guilty of fighting for the conferring of titles on surrendered Xiongnu generals. He was then pardoned due to illness. Emperor Jing despised him very much. He once offered him food but didn’t provide bowls or chopsticks. He rebuked Zhou to make him stand up, which was totally against the morality of respecting and treating ministers well. In the end, Zhou Yafu was unjustly put to death. How sad!
