《新唐书·列传·卷五十七》
现看见上奏的人，说得可取，只赏绸缎罢了，没有受接见、被提拔；说得不合心意，就在朝廷上受杖刑，贬职回乡、或者死在流放处。
比见上封事者，言有可采，但赐束帛而已，未尝蒙召见，被拔擢。其忤旨，则朝堂决杖，传送本州，或死于流贬。
Now those who submit the memorials speak well, and will only get some silk as a reward but will not be received or promoted; if they don’t speak well, they will be punished by the court, dismissed, or die in exile.
