《后汉书·列传·陈王列传》
永康元年，桓帝去世，窦皇后执掌朝政，下诏书说： 百姓生来就要立君，以管理他们。还必须有贤良的辅佐大臣，来巩固王家大业。
永康元年，帝崩。窦后临朝，诏曰： 夫民生树君，使司牧之，必须良佐，以固王业。
In the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan died, and Empress Dou took charge of the government. She issued an edict saying, "People must have a ruler since they were born. There must also be virtuous and capable ministers to consolidate the kingdom."
