《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十九》
现今曹节等人为所欲为，放任为害。而且他们久居在皇帝左右，您的哥哥侍中刘就是被曹节等人杀害的。您可以上书朝廷，推荐卫尉阳球重新出任司隶校尉，将曹节等人逐个逮捕诛杀，由圣明的君主亲自主持朝政，天下太平，只要一举足的短时间内即可到来。 
今曹节等放纵为害，而久在左右，又公兄侍中受害节等，今可表徙卫尉阳球为司隶校尉，以次收节等诛之，政出圣主，天下太平，可翘足而待也！ 
At present, Cao Jie and his ilk do whatever they want, and freely bring disaster. Furthermore, they have been by the emperor's side for a long time. Your older brother, Zhong Liu, was killed by Cao Jie and his ilk. You can write a letter to the imperial court, recommending that Weiwei Yang Qiu be reappointed as Siligongwei, arrest and kill all of Cao Jie and his ilk individually, have the enlightened emperor personally preside over the government, and peace will arrive in the country in a short time, as soon as you raise your foot.
