《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十五》
事情发生时，不在当时坚持力争，防患于未然，反而各自顺从迎合，阿谀献媚。等到先帝去世后，尊号已定，万事都已完毕，才开始深究无法挽回的往事，攻击宣扬宫闱幽深昏暗处谁也说不清的过错，这实在令我深深痛心！
事不当时固争，防祸于未然，各随指阿从以求容媚；晏驾之后，尊号已定，万事已讫，乃探追不及之事，讦扬幽昧之过，此臣所深痛也！
When the incident happened, they did not insist on striving at the time, preventing trouble before it happened, but instead everyone complied and flattered, fawning and pandering. They waited until after the previous Emperor passed away, his honorific title had already been decided, everything had already been completed, before they began to investigate in depth something that had happened and could not be changed, attacking and spreading the indescribable mistakes of the secluded and dark imperial harem, this truly makes me profoundly sad!
