《魏书·列传·卷九》
推辞说： 臣下受知遇是缘于亲近，盛衰的事情相等，以此获得赏赐，很违背心愿，乞求收回成命，来平息诽谤的言论。 
勰辞曰： 臣受遇缘亲，荣枯事等，以此获赏，殊乖情愿，乞追成旨，用息谤言。 
Declined and said: The subordinate was treated well because of the intimacy, when something is prosperous or in decline, it is the same. To be rewarded because of it was against his wish, begging to withdraw the order to appease the slander.
