《晋书·帝纪·第一章》
及至魏明帝临终之时，把国家大事相嘱托，接受了两位君主的遣诏，辅佐了三代，既然承受了临终前的重托，却没有以身相报。
及明帝将终，栋梁是属，受遗二主，佐命三朝，既承忍死之托，曾无殉生之报。
When Emperor Ming of Wei was on his deathbed, he entrusted him with the important affairs of the state and accepted the edicts of two emperors. He assisted three generations, so since he was entrusted with important responsibilities on his deathbed, he was not able to repay him with his life.
