《资治通鉴·魏纪·魏纪七》
我本想说的是您应该追循伊尹、吕尚的足迹，匡正辅佐魏国朝政，上可以报答明帝的嘱托，下可以建立万世的功勋。
本谓明公齐踪伊、吕，匡辅魏室，上报明帝之托，下建万世之勋。
I originally wanted to discuss with you how you should follow in the footsteps of Yi Yin and Lü Shang, correct and support the affairs of the Wei state, and thus both repay Emperor Ming's trust and establish merit for all eternity.
