伏见尚书郎廉昭奏左丞曹璠以罚当关不依诏，坐判问。又云“诸当坐者别奏”。尚书令陈矫自奏不敢辞罚，亦不敢以处重为恭，意至恳恻。臣窃悯然为朝廷惜之！夫圣人不择世而兴，不易民而治，然而生必有贤智之佐者，盖进之以道，率之以礼故也。古之帝王之所以能辅世长民者，莫不远得百姓之欢心，近尽群臣之智力。诚使今朝任职之臣皆天下之选，而不能尽其力，不可谓能使人；若非天下之选，亦不可谓能官人。陛下忧劳万机，或亲灯火，而庶事不康，刑禁日弛，岂非股肱不称之明效欤？原其所由，非独臣有不尽忠，亦主有不能使。百里奚愚於虞而智於秦，豫让苟容中行而著节智伯，斯则古人之明验矣。今臣言一朝皆不忠，是诬一朝也；然其事类，可推而得。陛下感帑藏之不充实，而军事未息，至乃断四时之赋衣，薄御府之私谷，帅由圣意，举朝称明，与闻政事密勿大臣，宁有恳恳忧此者乎？
