《旧五代史·后唐·庄宗纪七》
 我听说古代哲王，统治天下，首先以公正而不偏袒为最善的治理，其次则以足食足兵为深远的谋划，缅怀前人美德，确实可为师法。
朕闻古先哲王，临御天下，上则以无偏无党为至治，次则以足食足兵为远谋，缅惟前修，诚可师范。
I have surmised that, in ancient times, the wise kings who governed the realm considered fairness and impartiality to represent the most virtuous governance, with providing sufficient food and ensuring a sufficient military representing far-reaching strategies. Reflecting on the virtues of our predecessors may indeed serve as a model for us.
