《魏书·帝纪·卷五》
壬戌，回宫。九月戊辰，下诏说： 褒奖赏赐必确有功劳，行刑处罚必确有罪过，这是古今所相同，自来的常规。州牧郡守治理民众，侵犯鱼肉百姓，以经营自家产业，致使国家赋税不充备，虽岁月已满而离职，应核计从前的拖欠，依法治罪。而主管的人怠忽于督察，不加以弹劾，使有罪的人逍遥法外，没有罪的平白受其罪过，这是打开奸邪的道路，助长贪婪暴虐的心理，哪里是所谓推究实情治罪，来端正天下呢?
而主者失于督察，不加弹正，使有罪者优游获免，无罪者妄受其辜，是启奸邪之路，长贪暴之心，岂所谓原情处罪，以正天下？
On renxu day, return to palace. On wuchen day in September, issue an edict saying: rewarding must be given to those with real achievements, punishing must be made to those with real crimes, which is a common practice that is no different in ancient and present times. State chiefs who govern people, exploit people, use their positions to make a living, and make national taxes insufficient should be convicted of their past arrears according to law and punished even after their terms expire. Those who are in charge negligently supervise and fail to impeach, so that the guilty escapes and the innocent is punished, which is to pave the way for treacherous villains and encourage the psychology of greed and violence. How can it be called investigating the truth to govern the world?
