《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十二》
如今既然接受了单于朝贡的诚意，却又收纳他的反叛逃亡之臣，为了贪图得到一个人，而将失却一国之心；为了拥有一个有罪之臣，而与一位仰慕仁义的君王绝交。
今既享单于聘贡之质，而更受其逋逃之臣，是贪一夫之得而失一国之心，拥有罪之臣而绝慕义之君也。
Today, since we have received the surrender of the Chanyu, we have accepted his rebellious and fugitive subjects, for the sake of gaining one person, and will lose the hearts of a whole nation; for the sake of possessing a convicted criminal, we will break off relations with a monarch who admires benevolence and righteousness.
