11.29

陛下道懷虛納養物無際。願開天地之恩。得遂一分之志愚守之誠。畢命無辜。分受違詔之愆。甘引無恨屢千聖聽。追用悚息。不任罔極之情。謹奏以聞。

Your Majesty's heart of the Dao emptily receives and nurtures all things boundlessly. We hope you will open the grace of heaven and earth to allow us to fulfill a fraction of our aspiration. In the sincerity of our foolish adherence, we would end our lives without fault; we are willing to bear the transgression of disobeying the edict, and willingly invite it without regret. Having repeatedly troubled the sage hearing, in retrospect we are seized with dread and awe. Unable to bear our boundless feelings, we respectfully memorialize this for your hearing.
