於是有司奏冀入朝不趨，斂履上殿，謁贊不名，禮儀比蕭何，悉以定陶、成陽餘戶增封為四縣，比鄧禹，賞賜金錢、奴婢、采帛、車馬、衣服、甲第，比霍光，以殊元勛。 Offices proposed that Liang Ji need not hasten at audience, might enter with shoes tied and go unnamed in obeisance—rites like Xiao He's; that Dingtao and Chengyang surplus households be added for four counties like Deng Yu's; and gifts of gold, slaves, silks, horses, carriages, clothes, and mansions like Huo Guang's—to mark singular founding merit.
