《三国志·魏书·钟繇华歆王朗传》
王肃上疏说： 大魏承袭百代帝王的准则，百姓不多，战事没有平息，实在应该是让百姓休养生息并且让他们得到恩惠，以让远近之地都能安宁的时候了。
肃上疏曰： 大魏承百王之极，生民无几，干戈未戢，诚宜息民而惠之以安静遐迩之时也。
Wang Yu reported that: the Great Wei carried out the laws of a hundred generations of emperors, but with a limited population and ongoing warfare, it should allow the people to rest and recover and show them favor, so that the regions far and wide can be pacified.
