此往事之明驗，本朝太宗皇帝之所已行也。 This is a clear precedent from history and a practice already followed by Emperor Taizong of our dynasty.

今若徇文帝緣情之義，法太宗繼絕之意，明示好惡，無隙可指，雖不止謗而謗息矣。” If Your Majesty now follows Emperor Wen's humane mercy and Emperor Taizong's intent to continue severed lines, clearly shows your preferences so that no opening remains for slander, slander will cease even without direct suppression."
