《汉书·传·薛宣朱博传》
按《春秋》的大义，本意不好而成功，不能逃避诛罚，冒犯皇上这种行为的开端不可以助长。薛况是首恶分子，扰塱亲手伤人，后果与本意都很恶劣，都是大不敬。
《春秋》之义，意恶功遂，不免于诛，上浸之源不可长也，况首为恶，明手伤，功意俱恶，皆大不敬。
According to the general meaning of the Spring and Autumn Annals, when the object is bad and the success great, the punishment cannot be evaded. An extreme of this kind of behavior should not be encouraged. Xue Kuang was the ringleader, and Ruowang personally injured people. Both the consequences and the object were extremely bad, and all were cases of great irreverence.
