《笑林广记·古艳部》
乙说： 我有朝廷授给的官印，生杀大权，归我操纵，看你身居冷官闲职，有了图章也是没有用处，谁怕你呢？ 
乙曰： 弟有朝廷印信，生杀之权，惟吾操纵，视年兄身居冷曹，图章私刻，谁来惧你？ 
Yi said: I have the official seal granted by the imperial court. The power over life and death is in my control. Seeing as how you occupy a cold and idle office, although you have the seal, it is useless. Who’s afraid of you?
