「丞相臣青翟、御史大夫臣湯昧死言：臣青翟等與列侯、吏二千石、諫大夫、博士臣慶等議：昧死奏請立皇子為諸侯王。 "The Chancellor Qing Di and the Grandee Secretary Tang, at the risk of death, state: We, your servants Qing Di and the others, together with the marquises, officials of the two-thousand-shi rank, Remonstrant Officials, and the Erudites including Qing, have deliberated and at the risk of death submit the following memorial requesting that the imperial princes be established as feudal kings.

臣青翟、臣湯、博士臣將行等伏聞康叔親屬有十，武王繼體，周公輔成王，其八人皆以祖考之尊建為大國。 We, your servants Qing Di, Tang, and the Erudite Jiang Xing, among others, have heard that among Kang Shu's ten kinsmen, King Wu succeeded to the throne and the Duke of Zhou assisted King Cheng, while the other eight were all established as lords of great states by virtue of their ancestors' eminence.

今諸侯支子封至諸侯王，而家皇子為列侯，臣青翟、臣湯等竊伏孰計之，皆以為尊卑失序，使天下失望，不可。 At present, even the cadet sons of feudal lords have been enfeoffed as kings, yet the imperial princes would be made mere marquises. We, your servants Qing Di, Tang, and the others, have prostrated ourselves and considered this matter carefully. All of us believe that it would violate the proper order of high and low, cause the realm to lose hope, and must not be permitted.

「丞相臣青翟、太仆臣賀、行御史大夫事太常臣充、太子少傅臣安行宗正事昧死言：臣青翟等前奏大司馬臣去病上疏言，皇子未有號位，臣謹與御史大夫臣湯、中二千石、二千石、諫大夫、博士臣慶等昧死請立皇子臣閎等為諸侯王。 "The Chancellor Qing Di, the Grand Coachman He, the Grand Master of Ceremonies Chong acting as Grandee Secretary, and An, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, acting as Director of the Imperial Clan, at the risk of death state: We, your servants Qing Di and the others, previously submitted a memorial regarding the Grand Marshal Qubing's petition stating that the imperial princes have not yet been granted titles. We respectfully, together with the Grandee Secretary Tang, the officials of the central two-thousand-shi and two-thousand-shi ranks, the Remonstrant Officials, and the Erudites including Qing, at the risk of death requested that the imperial princes Hong and the others be established as feudal kings.

臣青翟等竊與列侯臣壽成等二十七人議，皆曰以為尊卑失序。 We, your servants Qing Di and the others, have privately deliberated with the Marquis Shou Cheng and twenty-seven other officials, and all said this would violate the proper order of high and low.
