《晋书·列传·第十七章》
这是群臣下属应当权衡的实情。可是现在却由此鼓动怂恿，东安公封为王，孟观、李肇都封为郡公，其余封为侯、伯、子、男，虚妄加封之后，又使三等破格升迁。
此群下所宜以实裁量，而遂扇动，东安封王，孟、李郡公，余侯伯子男，既妄有加，复又三等超迁。
This is a reality that the hundred officials and the subordinates ought to take into consideration. But now they are using this incident to advance their own careers. The Duke of Dong'an has now became a prince; Meng Guan and Li Zhao have been made dukes; the others have been made marquises, earls, viscounts and barons, and after this absurd elevation in ranks, the Three Ranks have been abolished without due process.
