《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十八》
如今不断发生灾异，谷价上涨数倍，我日夜忧愁惶恐，坐卧不安，而皇帝却打算先为外戚赐封，违背慈母的拳拳之心！
今数遭变异，谷价数倍，忧惶昼夜，不安坐卧，而欲先营外家之封，违慈母之拳拳乎！
Now disasters have occurred repeatedly, the price of grain has increased several times, I am worried and fearful day and night, sitting and sleeping restlessly, yet the emperor wants to establish his maternal relatives first, which goes against your mother's sincere heart!
