《梁书·列传·卷十三》
现在开国伊始，往后敬神之祀将周而复始，而我请求辞官家居，皇上恩遇不予允许，如果真的不能弘扬德化，使朝廷的政治发扬光大，那就要讨寻文册簿籍，议论时政的同异。
今岁开元，礼年云至，悬车之请，事由恩夺。诚不能弘宣风政，光阐朝猷，尚欲讨寻文簿，时议同异。
Now at the beginning of the founding of the country, the sacrifices of gods in the future will be repeated, and I request to resign from office and return home. The emperor’s kindness does not allow it. If we really cannot promote morality and promote the politics of the court, then we must find the book and discuss the differences in current affairs.
