《晋书·志·第二十章》
而在即将灭亡的国家，刑法全都废弃，刊削律条以应法令之急需，为了适意而放宽执法，在涅桓帝、漠灵帝那样的末世，不就是那样的吗!
而将亡之国，典刑咸弃，刊章以急其宪，适意以宽其网，桓灵之季，不其然欤！
However, in a country that is about to perish, all criminal laws are abolished. In order to meet the urgent needs of laws and regulations, the regulations are arbitrarily expanded, and the enforcement of the law is relaxed for the sake of convenience. Isn't that the case in the last days of Emperors Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Mo of the Later Han Dynasty!
