今忠賢無腹心之寄，閽寺專廢立之權，陷先帝不得正其終，致陛下不得正其始，況太子未立，郊祀未脩，將相之職不歸，名器之宜不定，此社稷將危也。 Now the loyal and worthy have no trust at your side; gatekeepers and eunuchs monopolize the power to depose and establish, trapping the former emperor so he could not set his end right and causing you not to set your beginning right — moreover the heir is not established, suburban sacrifices are not performed, the duties of generals and ministers do not return to their places, and titles and regalia are not fixed: this is how the altars of state are about to be endangered.
