《晋书·列传·第五章》
况且朝廷何必任用外戚，品德与才能相等，还应该先任用关系疏远的人，以示公正。
况朝廷何取于外戚，正复才均，尚当先其疏者，以明至公。
Moreover, why would the court need to employ relatives of the imperial family? If their morality and talent are equal, then it would be appropriate to appoint those who are less closely related in order to demonstrate fairness.
