《史记·七十列传·苏秦列传》
大王果真能听从我的建议，我能山东使各国向您奉献四时的礼物，接受你英明的指教，把国家委托给您，奉献宗庙请您保护，训练士兵，磨砺兵器，听任大王的指挥。
 大王诚能听臣，臣请令山东之国奉四时之献，以承大王之明诏，委社稷，奉宗庙，练士厉兵，在大王之所用之。
If you truly listen to my suggestion, I can make the states in the east pay you gifts and offerings representing the four seasons, take your instructions, and, with your protection, build their states and pass on their ancestral temples, train their soldiers, refine their weapons, and listen to your commands.
