《新五代史·列传·汉臣传第十八》
于是以前有资望而今失职的旧将人家，都姑息迁就家僮奴仆，而受人豢养的人，常常胁迫钳制他的主人。
于是前资故将失职之家，姑息僮奴，而厮养之辈，往往胁制其主。
Therefore, the families of former generals who had previously had great prestige but had now lost their positions all tolerated and indulged their household slaves and servants, and the people who were kept by others often threatened and controlled their masters.
