《陈书·本纪·卷六》
我继承大统，思虑振兴伟大的基业，时常畏惧皇宫深严，四方视听不广阔，想要听到正直的言论，不以腿脚肿痛为疲劳，如果遇到在朝廷上当众辩驳，不要畏惧触怒帝王。
朕纂承丕绪，思隆大业，常惧九重已邃，四聪未广，欲听昌言，不疲痺足，若逢廷折，无惮批鳞。
I have inherited the great line, and my thought is to revive the great cause. I am constantly afraid that the palace is deeply secluded, and that on the four sides my hearing and seeing are not wide enough. I desire to hear honest words, and do not grudge the labour of my painful feet; and should it happen that there be those who boldly remonstrate in the court, let them not fear that they will rouse my anger.
