《魏书·帝纪·卷七》
四月十四日，高祖亲临廷尉、籍坊二处监狱，引见诸多囚犯，下诏说： 做廷尉的人是持天下之公平，百姓的性命就握在你们手中。
四月己卯，幸廷尉、籍坊二狱，引见诸囚。诏曰： 廷尉者，天下之平，民命之所悬也。
On the 14th of April, the Grand Ancestor personally visited the two prisons of the Tingwei and the Jibo and questioned many of the prisoners. An imperial edict was issued stating: The Tingwei is the one who wields the justice of the world; the lives of the people are in your hands.
