《元史·列传·卷五十九》
然我毕竟不是皇上亲信之臣，说话皇上必不听从。侍臣中读书知理、慷慨有气节而又为皇上所亲信的人中，没有能超过你的。
然我疏远之臣，言必不听，侍臣中读书知义理，慷慨有大节，又为上所亲信，无逾公者。
But I am not after all a minister trusted by the emperor, and the emperor will not listen to what I say. Among the courtiers, there is no one who surpasses you in your erudition, your knowledge of principles, your magnanimity, your righteousness, and the emperor's trust.
