《资治通鉴·后晋纪·后晋纪三》
现在，天下刚刚稍有安定，国家的创伤没有恢复，府库空虚穷竭，百姓困苦凋弊，平静地来守护还怕不能济事，怎么可以再妄作举动呢！
今天下粗安，疮痍未复，府库虚竭，蒸民困弊，静而守之，犹惧不济，其可妄动乎！
At present, the country has just recovered its peace, the national wounds have not healed, government warehouses are empty and depleted, the people are poor and starving; if we act rashly now, we might not be able to succeed, how can we possibly make reckless moves!
