《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪三十六》
您兴复皇家的事业，功高德勋，地位重要，在今天的形势之下，怎么还能一味谦让，而去永远做一个老守藩地的普通地方将领呢？
公兴复皇祚，勋高位重，今日形势，岂得居谦，遂为守籓之将耶！
“Your feats of restoring the royal family’s cause are great and your morality is high. Your position is important, and in the current situation, how can you continue to act modestly, forever remaining a general who protects an old, unimportant territory?”
