《史记·七十列传·田叔列传》
田叔说： 现在梁王如不伏法被处死，这是汉朝的刑法不能实行啊；如果他伏法而死，太后就会寝食难安，这又是您的忧虑啊！ 
上曰： 何也？ 曰： 今梁王不伏诛，是汉法不行也；如其伏法，而太后食不甘味，卧不安席，此忧在陛下也。 
Tian Shu said:  If the Prince of Liang does not submit to the law and is executed now, this would mean that the laws of the Han Dynasty could not be implemented; if he submits to the law and dies, the empress dowager will find it hard to eat and sleep, and this will be your worry!
