11.11

大王殿下。天挺英靈自然岐嶷。風神頴越器局含弘。好善為樂邁彼東平。溫易是歡更方西楚。加以阿衡百揆式序六條。德既褰羅仁兼裂網。開康莊之第。坐荀卿之賓。起修竹之園。醼文雅之客。莫不詩極緣情而賦窮體物。信可譽形朝野美貫前英者焉。但琳等內顧闕如方圓寡用。念傅奕下愚之甚。媿凡僧禿丁之呵。惡之極也。罪莫大焉。自尊盧赫胥已來。天地開闢之後。未有如奕之狂悖也。不任斷骨痛心之至。謹錄奕害事。輒述鄙詞。件答如左。塵黷威嚴伏增殞絕。謹啟。

Your Highness the Prince: endowed by Heaven with heroic spirit, naturally precocious, of surpassing demeanor and expansive capacity; finding joy in doing good, you surpass that Prince of Dongping; taking pleasure in warmth and easy accessibility, you rival that Prince of Western Chu. Moreover, you regulate the hundred magistrates and bring order to the six directives; your virtue has already drawn up the nets, and your benevolence has torn through the snares. You open a mansion on the broad avenues to seat the guests of Xun Qing; you construct a garden of tall bamboo to banquet cultured and refined visitors. There are none whose poems do not exhaust the evoking of emotion, and whose rhapsodies do not exhaust the depiction of things. Truly, your praise is manifested in court and countryside, and your excellence runs through former heroes. However, Lin and the others look within ourselves and find deficiencies, of little use in square or round matters. Reflecting on Fu Yi's extreme folly, we are ashamed at the rebuke of 'common monks' and 'bald fellows.' This is the utmost evil; no crime is greater. Since the times of Zunlu and Hexu, after heaven and earth were opened, there has never been one as mad and perverse as Yi. Unable to endure the utmost heartbreak and marrow-cutting pain, I respectfully record the harmful points raised by Yi, and presume to state humble words, itemizing the responses as follows. Sullied before your awesome majesty, I humbly add to my dread and devastation. Respectfully presented.
