《魏书·列传·卷七》
如果韩元昭等人罪行昭彰，判定死罪，应在都市行刑，当众处死他们；如果他们有疑问的地方没有分辨，情理没有推究，不应在三教九流的官吏棍棒下死去，轻易断绝民众性命，损伤道理败坏法度。
若昭等状彰，死罪以定，应刑于都市，与众弃之；如其疑似不分，情理未究，不宜以三清九流之官杖下便死，轻绝民命，伤理败法。
If Han Yuanzhao and others have committed serious crimes and are sentenced to death, they should be executed in the city and executed in public. If there are any doubts about them that have not been cleared up and the circumstances have not been investigated, they should not die under the clubs of corrupt officials, and the lives of the people should not be so easily cut off, and the principles and laws should not be damaged.
