晏賓於東朝，猶有官謗，相公終始故舊，不信流言，賈誼復召宣室，弘羊重興功利，敢不悉力以答所知。 Though as a guest at the Eastern Court I still face official slander, you have remained my old friend from first to last and will not heed idle talk. Just as Jia Yi was called back to the privy chamber and Sang Hongyang was trusted again to manage state revenue, I dare not spare myself in repaying your confidence.
