平西將軍都亭侯臣馬超、左將軍(領)長史鎮軍將軍臣許靖、營司馬臣龐羲、議曹從事中郎軍議中郎將臣射援、〈《三輔決錄注》曰:援字文雄,扶風人也。其先本姓謝,與北地諸謝同族。始祖謝服為將軍出征,天子以謝服非令名,改為射,子孫氏焉。兄堅,字文固,少有美名,闢公府為黃門侍郎。獻帝之初,三輔飢亂,堅去官,與弟援南入蜀依劉璋,璋以堅為長史。劉備代璋,以堅為廣漢、蜀郡太守。援亦少有名行,太尉皇甫嵩賢其才而以女妻之,丞相諸葛亮以援為祭酒,遷從事中郎,卒官。〉軍師將軍臣諸葛亮、蕩寇將軍漢壽亭侯臣關羽、徵虜將軍新亭侯臣張飛、征西將軍臣黃忠、鎮遠將軍臣賴恭、揚武將軍臣法正、興業將軍臣李嚴等一百二十人上言曰:昔唐堯至聖而四凶在朝,周成仁賢而四國作難,高后稱制而諸呂竊命,孝昭幼衝而上官逆謀,皆馮世寵,藉履國權,窮凶極亂,社稷幾危。非大舜、周公、硃虛、博陸,則不能流放禽討,安危定傾。伏惟陛下誕姿聖德,統理萬邦,而遭厄運不造之艱。董卓首難,盪覆京畿,曹操階禍,竊執天衡;皇后太子,鴆殺見害,剝亂天下,殘毀民物。久令陛下蒙塵憂厄,幽處虛邑。人神無主,遏絕王命,厭昧皇極,欲盜神器。左將軍領司隸校尉豫、荊、益三州牧宜城亭侯備,受朝爵秩,念在輸力,以殉國難。睹其機兆,赫然憤發,與車騎將軍董承同謀誅操,將安國家,克寧舊都。會承機事不密,令操遊魂得遂長惡,殘泯海內。臣等每懼王室大有閻樂之禍,小有定安之變,〈趙高使閻樂殺二世。王莽廢孺子以為定安公。〉夙夜惴惴,戰栗累息。昔在虞書,敦序九族,週監二代,封建同姓,詩著其義,歷載長久。漢興之初,割裂疆土,尊王子弟,是以卒折諸呂之難,而成太宗之基。臣等以備肺腑枝葉,宗子籓翰,心存國家,念在弭亂。自操破於漢中,海內英雄望風蟻附,而爵號不顯,九錫未加,非所以鎮衛社稷,光昭萬世也。奉辭在外,禮命斷絕。昔河西太守梁統等值漢中興,限於山河,位同權均,不能相率,咸推竇融以為元帥,卒立效績,摧破隗囂。今社稷之難,急於隴、蜀。操外吞天下,內殘群寮,朝廷有蕭牆之危,而御侮未建,可為寒心。臣等輒依舊典,封備漢中王,拜大司馬,董齊六軍,糾合同盟,掃滅凶逆。以漢中、巴、蜀、廣漢、犍為為國,所署置依漢初諸侯王故典。夫權宜之製,苟利社稷,專之可也。然後功成事立,臣等退伏矯罪,雖死無恨。
