太史公曰：高祖時諸侯皆賦，得自除內史以下，漢獨為置丞相，黃金印。 The Grand Historian remarks: In the time of Emperor Gaozu, the feudal lords all collected their own taxes and were permitted to appoint their own officials from the rank of Interior Minister downward. Only the chancellors were appointed by the Han court, and they bore golden seals.
