季札謝曰：「曹宣公之卒也，諸侯與曹人不義曹君，將立子臧，子臧去之，以成曹君，君子曰『能守節矣』。 Jizha declined and said: "When Duke Xuan of Cao died, the feudal lords and the people of Cao did not consider the Cao ruler righteous and would have established Zizang. Zizang left it, to complete the Cao ruler, and gentlemen said, 'He could guard integrity.'
