《魏书·帝纪·卷九》
二十二日，帝下诏书说： 自从国运步入艰难的境地，一直到今天，烽火驿报交替驰传，旌旗战鼓从未停息，祖宗传下来的盛隆基业，危如垒卵，国家政权，快要沦落坠没。
戊子，诏曰： 自运属艰棘，历载于兹，烽驿交驰，旌鼓不息。祖宗盛业，危若缀旒；社稷鸿基，殆将沦坠。
On the 22nd, the emperor's decree said: from the time when the fate of the country came into difficult circumstances, up until today, dispatches of fire beacons of war have been alternating, and military banners and drums of war have not ceased to sound, and the flourishing great foundations founded by my ancestors, are in great danger, and the nation's authority, is close to losing its status.
