《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪六》
与陛下血缘很亲近的人，有的还没有被封立为王，以稳定天下，而那些与陛下血缘很疏远的人，有的却已经手握大权，开始形成对天子的威胁了。
亲者或亡分地以安天下，疏者或制大权以逼天子，臣故曰非徒病瘇也，又苦炙盭。
Some of those who are closely related to His Majesty have not yet been enfeoffed as kings to stabilize the realm, while some who are very distantly related to His Majesty have already come into possession of great power and begun to pose a threat to the Son of Heaven.
