    先帝每宴見群臣,抑損醇(酉農),臣下終日無失慢之尤,百寮庶尹,並展所陳。而陛下拘以視瞻之敬,懼以不盡之酒。夫酒以成札,過則敗德,此無異商辛長夜之飲也,是不遵先帝九也;  昔漢之桓、靈,親近宦豎。大失民心。今高通、詹廉、羊度,黃門小人,而陛下賞以重爵,權以戰兵。若江渚有難,烽燧互起,則度等之武不能禦侮明也,是不遵先帝十也;  今宮女曠積,而黃門復走州郡,條牒民女,有錢則捨,無錢則取,怨呼道路,母子死訣,是不遵先帝十一也;  先帝在時,亦養諸王太子,若取乳母,其夫復役,賜與錢財,給其資糧,時遣歸來,視其弱息。今則不然,夫婦生離,夫故作役,兒從後死,家為空戶,是不遵先帝十二也;  先帝歎曰:‘國以民為本,民以食為天,衣其次也,三者,孤存之於心。’今則不然,農桑並廢,是不遵先帝十三也;
