《资治通鉴·齐纪·齐纪五》
朕现在决定三年考评一次，考评完毕就实行罢黜或提升处理，目的是为了使那些低能者不要妨碍了忠贤者的上进，使有才能的不要总是处在低位。
朕今三载一考，即行黜陟，欲令愚滞无妨于贤者，才能不拥于下位。
I now decide to assess them every three years, then implement demotion or promotion, the purpose of which is to prevent those with little ability from holding back the promotion of those with abilities and to prevent those with abilities from always being undervalued.
