《明史·列传·卷二百一十七》
现今王琼等人既然说贼人已逼近我们的城堡，绑架我们的士兵，声称贼人要大举进攻，这恐怕是威吓朝廷，另一方面又说贼人慑于朝廷的威力正在悔罪，应仍答应与他们通贡，他们的言词是多么自相矛盾。
万一奸宄窥伺，潜逞逆谋，虽悔何及。今其使写亦满速儿等宴赉已竣，犹不肯行，曰恐朝廷复宣召。
Now, Wang Qiong and the others are saying that the bandits have besieged our castle, captured our soldiers, and are claiming to launch a major attack. They must be trying to intimidate the court; however, they also say the bandits are repenting their crimes out of fear of the court's power, and we should consider resuming tribute payments. Their words are contradictory!
