《汉书·传·酷吏传》
宣帝即位不久，严延年就上书弹劾霍光，说他 擅自废立国君，失去了为人臣下的体统，犯了大逆不道之罪 。
宣帝初即位，延年劾奏光 擅废立主，无人臣礼，不道 。
Shortly after the emperor’s accession, Yan Yannian submitted a memorial impeaching Huo Guang, saying that “he arbitrarily deposed and installed the sovereign, violating the proper conduct of a minister and committing a heinous crime.”
