《汉书·传·叙传上》
因此登基之后，天下百姓没有不为汉室衰落而叹息的，十几年间，外扰内忧，各地纷纷揭竿而起，立国号的人遍地皆是，都自称是刘氏后人，未曾商量而语辞相同。
是以即真之后，天下莫不引领而叹，十余年间，外内骚扰，远近俱发，假号云合，咸称刘氏，不谋而同辞。
Therefore, after he ascended the throne, all the people in the world could not help but sigh for the decline of the Han Dynasty. In the past ten years, there have been disturbances both at home and abroad, people have risen up everywhere, and people who have become the state title are everywhere, all claiming to be descendants of the Liu family, and they have never discussed it but said the same thing.
