《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十一》
况且您一向具有盛大的德能和功勋，受到天下人的向往和敬佩。无论带兵或从政，纪律严肃，赏罚公开而守信。
况明公素有盛德大功，为天下所向服，军政齐肃，赏罚明信。
Moreover, you have always had great virtue and merits, and you are admired and respected by the people of the world. Whether leading troops or being in politics, the discipline is strict, the rewards and punishments are open and honest.
