《三国志·吴书·虞陆张骆陆吾朱传》
孙权大怒，手里拿着剑要刺他，陪坐的人都震惊惶恐，只有大农刘基起身抱住孙权劝说： 大王因酒过三巡之后杀了有名望之人，虽说虞翻有罪，但天下人谁知道呢？
权於是大怒，手剑欲击之，侍坐者莫不惶遽，惟大农刘基起抱权谏曰： 大王以三爵之后杀善士，虽翻有罪，天下孰知之？
Sun Quan was furious and wanted to stab him with a sword. Everyone at the banquet was stunned and horrified. Only Liu Ji, the Minister of Agriculture, got up to hold Sun Quan back and said: Now that you have had several rounds of drinking, you want to kill someone with great prestige. Even if Yu Fan is guilty, who in the world will know about this incident?
