漢之得人，於茲為盛，儒雅則公孫弘、董仲舒、兒寬，篤行則石建、石慶，質直則汲黯、卜式，推賢則韓安國、鄭當時，定令則趙禹、張湯，文章則司馬遷、相如，滑稽則東方朔、枚皋，應對則嚴助、硃買臣，歷數則唐都、洛下閎，協律則李延年，運籌則桑弘羊，奉使則張騫、蘇武，將率則衛青、霍去病，受遺則霍光、金日磾，其餘不可勝紀。 Never did the dynasty gather talent so thickly: Hong, Dong, and Kuan for classical breadth; the Shi brothers for steadfast service; Ji An and Bu Shi for blunt loyalty; Han Anguo and Zheng Dangshi for lifting others; Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang for codifying law; Sima Qian and Xiangru for voice; jesters Dongfang Shuo and Mei Gao; debaters Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen; calendar-makers Tang Du and Luoxia Hong; the harmonist Li Yan'nian; the reckoner Sang Hongyang; envoys Zhang Qian and Su Wu; blades Wei Qing and Huo Qubing; regents Huo Guang and Jin Midi—and a cloud of names besides.

丞相慚不任職，乃上書曰：「慶幸得待罪丞相，罷駑無以輔治，城郭倉庫空虛，民多流亡，罪當伏斧質，上不忍致法。 The Chancellor, ashamed that he could not fulfill his duties, submitted a memorial saying, "Qing has had the good fortune to serve as Chancellor while awaiting punishment; I am worn out and incapable of assisting in governance. The walled cities and storehouses are empty, and the people are fleeing in great numbers. My crime deserves execution by axe, yet Your Majesty has been unwilling to apply the law.
