《史记·七十列传·平津侯主父列传》
他每次上朝同大家议论政事，总是先开头陈述种种事情，让皇上自己去选择决定，不肯当面驳斥和在朝廷上争论。
每朝会议，开陈其端，令人主自择，不肯面折庭争。
When he attended court and deliberated state affairs with others, he always began by systematically presenting the facts and then let the emperor choose and decide, never refuting him directly or arguing in court.
