《汉书·传·王贡两龚鲍传》
陛下能深深自责，避开正殿，举用敢于直谏之士以检讨自己的过失，罢免外戚及您身边那些白食俸禄的无用之人，征拜孔光为光禄大夫，审察孙宠、息夫躬的过失和罪恶，让他们免官回到自己的侯国中去，众人和洽，无不欢欣鼓舞。
陛下深内自责，避正殿，举直言，求过失，罢退外亲及旁仄素餐之人，征拜孔光为光禄大夫，发觉孙宠、息夫躬过恶，免官遣就国，众庶歙然，莫不说喜。
Your Majesty can deeply self-criticize, avoiding the main hall, appointing capable men who dare to speak out to criticize to review your own mistakes, dismiss the relatives and useless people who receive free salaries around you, appoint Kong Guang as the grand master of the Guanglu, investigate the mistakes and crimes of Sun Chong and Xi Fugong, and let them return to their own marquisate, everyone is in harmony, and all are jubilant.
