意者願聞殿下抗目夷上仁之義，執子臧大賢之節，逃玉輿而弗乘，棄萬乘如脫屣，庶改澆競之俗，以大吳國之風。 I would have Your Highness uphold Mu Yi's principle of exalting benevolence and follow Zizang's example of great virtue: refuse the jade carriage, cast off the realm as one slips off a shoe, and thereby reform the custom of petty rivalry and magnify the spirit of the state of Wu.
