《魏书·列传·卷七》
现在平白无故辛劳跋涉，徒劳地往返，恐怕损伤陛下声威，更助长贼寇胆量，希望皇上在上观察盘庚开始迁徙的艰难，在下同情诗人《由庚》的咏叹，安定新都城，赐恩惠康乐于百姓。 
今无故劳涉，空为往返，恐挫损天威，更成贼胆。愿上览盘庚始迁之艰难，下矜诗人《由庚》之至咏，辑宁新邑，惠康亿兆。 
Now, if we just march without knowing why, go back and forth with no results, we may damage your majesty's reputation and make the thieves more courageous. I hope that his majesty will reflect on the difficulties of Emperor Pan Geng when he moved the capital and sympathize with the poem "Bye Yu Geng". Please settle yourself in the new capital and grant favor to the people.
