《晋书·列传·第十七章》
我想陛下您道德操行圣明，现时小小的水旱灾害，百姓没有大的饥荒，下发敬天命的诏书，寻求符合天意的言论，像夏禹商汤一样严格要求自己，同周文王一样谨慎小心，不敢怠慢。
伏惟陛下圣德钦明，时小水旱，人未大饥，下祗畏之诏，求极意之言，同禹、汤之罪己，侔周文之夕惕。
"I believe that Your Majesty is virtuous and enlightened. The recent minor droughts and floods have not caused the people to starve. Please deliver an edict showing your respect for Heaven's will, and seek advice on how to follow the will of Heaven, as King Yu of Xia and King Tang of Shang did, and be careful and cautious, as King Wen of Zhou was, so as not to act rashly."
