《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十》
公卿大臣早晨上朝，傍晚退朝，议论连年，不能够作出决断，没有时间处理诉讼冤案和百姓迫切需要解决的问题。
公卿旦入暮出，论议连年不决，不暇省狱讼冤结，民之急务。
The imperial ministers would go to court in the morning and leave in the evening, discussing for years without being able to make a decision, and had no time to deal with lawsuits and injustices or the urgent needs of the people.
