《魏书·帝纪·卷九》
朕不明治道，政事刑法都不娴熟，权臣擅命，乱我朝廷程式，致使西秦跋扈、北戎嚣张，荆蛮蠢蠢欲动，战火纷飞，连年不息。
暗于治道，政刑未孚，权臣擅命，乱我朝式。致使西秦跋扈，朔漠构妖，蠢尔荆蛮，氛埃不息。
I was not clear on the principles of governance, and was not adept at statecraft or criminal law. Powerful ministers arbitrarily issued orders, disrupting the rules of our court, causing the Western Qin to grow arrogant and the northern barbarians to behave outrageously, while the barbarians of Jing province were constantly twitching. The flames of war have been flying about without let-up for many years now.
