《三国志·魏书·辛毗杨阜高堂隆传》
杨阜大怒，杖责了吏役一百棍，并责问说： 国家不将告诉九卿的事情看做秘密，反而会将告诉小吏的事情看做秘密吗？ 明帝得知这件事后更加敬重忌惮杨阜。
阜怒，杖吏一百，数之曰： 国家不与九卿为密，反与小吏为密乎 帝闻而愈敬惮阜。
Yang Fu was furious, and ordered the official to be beaten with a hundred sticks, and asked: Doesn't the state consider matters that are told to the nine ministers a secret, but consider matters that are told to minor officials a secret? Upon learning of this, Emperor Ming respected Yang Fu even more.
