《新唐书·列传·卷一百二十七》
过去吴楚叛乱，汉得剧孟，贼寇不足为忧，一个贤人就能敌七国之众。切望能敷设带罪立功之路，有不计瑕疵之义，远想剧孟、近赦李邕。
昔吴、楚反，汉得剧孟则不忧，夫以一贤而敌七国之众，伏惟敷含垢之道，弃瑕之义，远思剧孟，近取于邕。
In the past, when Wu and Chu rebelled, the Han dynasty gained Ju Meng, and the rebels were no longer a cause for anxiety; one virtuous person could match the strength of seven nations. I dare to hope that you will open up a path to redemption for criminals, free from the concern for minor faults , as was done long ago for Ju Meng and recently for Li Yong.
