對曰。撿崔鴻十六國春秋。並無此色人。出何史籍。苟生誣抂誑惑君王。請勘國史知其妄奏。案前後漢書。即有昆陽常山青泥緣林黑山白馬黃巾赤眉等數十群賊。並是俗人。不關釋子。如何不論。

We reply: Examining Cui Hong's Shiliuguo chunqiu, there are no such persons. From what historical records do they come? Fabricating slander and false accusations, deluding the lord and king, we request you check the national histories to see this reckless memorial. According to the Books of the Former and Later Han, there were dozens of bandit groups such as those of Kunyang, Changshan, Qingni, Yuanlin, Heishan, Baima, Yellow Turbans, and Red Eyebrows, all of whom were laypeople and had nothing to do with the sons of Śākya. Why do you not mention them?
