《汉书·传·爰盎晁错传》
他的父亲看得清楚，却自杀于沟渠，无益于挽救败亡，不如赵母责备赵括，赵括虽败于长平，却保全了赵家不受连坐法杀害。
其父睹之，经于沟渎，亡益救败，不如赵母指括，以全其宗。
His father saw it clearly but he committed suicide in a ditch, which was no use for saving the family from the loss, just like Zhao's mother blaming Zhao Kuo. Although Zhao Kuo was defeated in Changping, Zhao's family was saved from punishment for collective crimes.
