愈答曰：「逢能行身，幸於方州大臣，以標目其先人事，載之天下耳目，徹之天子，追爵其父第四品，赫然驚人，逢與其父俱當得書矣。」 Yu replied: "Feng acted in his own person; fortunate in a regional grandee, he brought his forebear's deeds before the empire's eyes and reached the Son of Heaven; his father was posthumously enfeoffed at the fourth rank, startling all men. Both Feng and his father deserve to be written."
