《后汉书·列传·朱乐何列传》
应该杀掉一些被天下所怨恨的奸臣，来杜塞灾咎。议郎、大夫之位置，本应是一些儒术高行之士去干，现在多半不是他们；九卿之中，也有不能胜任的，希将军考察。 
宜急诛奸臣为天下所怨毒者，以塞灾咎，议郎、大夫之位，本以式序儒术高行之士，今多非其人，九卿之中，亦有乖其任者。惟将军察焉。
Some treacherous ministers who are resented by everyone should be executed to block disasters and blame. The positions of Cilang and Dafu should have been undertaken by men of high morals and Confucian scholarship, but most of them are not; there are also many incompetent people among the Nine Ministers, I hope the general will investigate this matter.
