《陈书·列传·卷二十九》
湘州平定，世祖就下诏说：过去四罪难以宽宏，大蚂所以不赦，九黎乱德，少吴所以必定要诛杀自古以来的皇帝，并不贪征伐，假如为了时代的蠹巅，事情就不得已了。
湘州平，世祖乃下诏曰：昔四罪难弘，大妫之所无赦，九黎乱德，少昊之所必诛。自古皇王，不贪征伐，苟为时蠹，事非获已。
After Xiangzhou was pacified, the World Ancestor issued an Encyclical that said: In the past, the Four Crimes were hard to be pardoned, thus Great Ma was not forgiven; the Nine Li tribe disrupted morality, thus Shaohao had to execute them. Emperors since ancient times were not fond of expeditions, if it was not for the evils of the times, then it would not have to be done.
