《资治通鉴·魏纪·魏纪七》
但孙奋不肯迁徙，又多次触犯国家法度，诸葛恪就给孙奋写信说： 帝王的尊贵与上天同一地位，因此以天下为家，以父兄为臣；仇人有善行，不得不举荐，亲戚有恶迹，也不得不诛杀；就这样顺承天命治理万物，以国为先，以家为后，这是圣人所立的制度，是百世不变的法则。
奋不肯徙，又数越法度，恪为笺以遗奋曰： 帝王之尊，与天同位，是以家天下，臣父兄；仇雠有善，不得不举，亲戚有恶，不得不诛，所以承天理物，先国后身，盖圣人立制，百代不易之道也。
But Sun Fen refused to move and repeatedly broke the national laws, so Zhuge Ke wrote Sun Fen a letter and said: The ruler's rank is the same as that of the heavens. Therefore, the ruler makes the whole world his home and his uncles and brothers his ministers; virtuous enemies have to be recommended, while wicked family members have to be punished; this is how the ruler follows the will of the heavens and governs all things, putting the state first and his family second. This is an institution established by the sages and an invariable law for a hundred generations.
