《明史·列传·卷一百二十八》
假若陛下不奋然振作，选用一些老成持重的大臣，充实朝廷官署，将多年来废弛的政事一举革新的话，我担心国家的危亡，不在于外敌的侵略，而就在于朝廷内部啊。 
非陛下奋然振作，简任老成，布列朝署，取积年废弛政事一举新之，恐宗社之忧，不在敌国外患，而即在庙堂之上也。 
If the emperor does not revive, elect some experienced and prudent ministers, complete the court office, and reform the government that has been abolished for many years, I am afraid that the safety of the country does not lie in the aggression of foreign enemies, but in the court.
