《明史·列传·卷一百一十二》
只有今年春天的事情，广泛咨询，博采众意，符合实情，合乎情理，失当的谄媚被全部摒弃，贪官污吏必作淘汰；至于孙鑨割除甥舅的情感，赵南星忍受断绝姻亲交好，没有比这更公正的。
独今春之役，旁咨博采，核实称情，邪谄尽屏，贪墨必汰；乃至鑨割渭阳之情，南星忍秦、晋之好，公正无逾此者。
Only the incident this spring, widely consulted, drew widely on opinions, conformed to the truth, was reasonable, inappropriate flattery was completely abandoned, corrupt officials must be eliminated; as for Sun Daosi's severing of the emotions between nephew and uncle, Zhao Nanzhang's enduring of a severed marriage with an in-law, there was nothing more just than this.
