《明史·列传·卷一百一十九》
禁止大臣作奸犯法是可以的，反过来却禁止大臣直言劝谏；教他们磨砺德行、树立名节是可以的，想不到反过来教大臣保持沉默以取得宠幸。
夫禁其作奸犯科可也，而反禁其谠言直谏；教其砥行立节可也，而反教以缄默取容。
It is understandable to ban ministers from doing evil and breaking the law. However, on the contrary, they are banned from speaking out to give advice; it is understandable to teach them to sharpen their virtues and establish their reputations. However, I did not expect that, on the contrary, they are taught to stay silent to win favour.
