《新唐书·列传·卷二十二》
良臣，自身得美名，君主受显号，子孙世代相承，福庆传之无穷；忠臣，自身受祸被杀，君主陷于昏暴，国破家亡，仅取空名。
良臣，身荷美名，君都显号，子孙傅承，流祚无疆；忠臣，己婴祸诛，君陷昏恶，丧国夷家，只取空名。
The good minister himself gains a good reputation, the monarch receives a prestigious title, and his descendants will pass on this forever, with endless blessings; the loyal minister himself suffers misfortune and is killed, the monarch becomes昏暴, the country is destroyed, and the family is ruined, leaving behind only a hollow reputation.
