《论衡·卷八·艺增篇》
要是不遭到光武皇帝的驳斥，若干代之后，汉文帝居明光宫，天下断狱三人的事记载在儒家的经典上，人们不知道它是被夸张的，那么汉文帝住在明光宫，全国只有三人被判刑的事，就终于会成为真实事情了。
不遭光武论，千世之後，孝文之事，载在经艺之上，人不知其增，居明光宫，断狱三人，而遂为实事也。
If it weren't for Emperor Guangwu's refutation, generations later, Emperor Wen of Han lived in the Mingguang Palace, and the matter of the three people who were sentenced to prison in the world was recorded in Confucian classics. People did not know that it was an exaggeration, then Emperor Wen of Han lived in Mingguang Palace. Only three people in the whole country were sentenced to prison, and it would eventually become a true thing.
