《魏书·帝纪·卷四》
今二寇摧灭，兵马无事可干，朕准备停武修文，遵太平之化，检理废职，举用逸民，提拔幽逸穷顿之士，延请举荐俊杰仁义之人，早晚思求，欲获为师为辅之人，即使是过去殷宗梦贤于板筑之时的殷勤，也没有朕此时思贤心情急切。
今二寇摧殄，士马无为，方将偃武修文，遵太平之化，理废职，举逸民，拔起幽穷，延登俊乂。昧旦思求，想遇师辅，虽殷宗之梦板筑，罔以加也。
Now that the two rebels have both been destroyed and the army has no more to do, I intend to put a stop to the fighting and cultivate the arts, in accordance with the customs of the Taiping era. I will examine the holders of useless posts and appoint capable but neglected people to office; I will promote outstanding and impoverished men of ability, and solicit the recommendation of men of great talent and virtue. Morning and night, I have deliberated on this, and my wish for teachers and assistants has grown more urgent than that of King Yin of the Shang dynasty, who dreamed of worthy ministers while stamping down earth to make a building foundation.
