《后汉书·本纪·显宗孝明帝纪》
现在选举不真实，邪佞之人没有去掉，权贵受贿酷吏贪求，为所欲为，百姓愁苦埋怨，实情无从上告，有关官府，应明白上奏罪名，荐举不当者，治荐举人的罪。
今选举不实，邪佞未去，权门请托，残吏放手，百姓愁怨，情无告诉。有司明奏罪名，并正举者。
Now the elections are not true, the evil people have not been removed, the powerful accept bribes, the cruel officials are greedy, and they do whatever they want. The people are distressed and complain. The truth cannot be told. The relevant officials should clearly report the crimes and recommend the unqualified ones. Those who recommend them are guilty.
