《明史·列传·卷一百四十三》
陛下登基后第一年，正碰上《师》卦的上九爻，其爻辞说： 天子有命令说：封建诸侯和任命卿大夫，小人都不可用。 
陛下御极之元年，正当《师》之上九，其爻云： 大君有命，开国承家，小人勿用。 
The first year of Your Majesty’s reign coincided with the ninth yao of the Shi (leadership) hexagram, which states: The emperor has decreed: Do not entrust feudal lords or appoint ministers or high officials to positions of authority.
