《战国策·楚三·苏子谓楚王》
那些大臣在百姓当中传播国君的不是，用您的土地大肆地贿赂诸侯。因此和大王的所爱相违背，这也称不上是忠臣。这样下去，国家就危险了。
大臣播王之过于百姓，多赂诸侯以王之地，是故退王之所爱，亦非忠臣也，是以国危。
Those ministers spread rumors of the monarch's mistakes among the people and bribe the princes with your land. Therefore, it is contrary to what the king loves, and it is not a loyal courtier. If this continues, the country will be in danger.
