5 對魏王:
齊王行車裂之刑。群臣諍之,弗聽。子高見齊王曰:「聞君行車裂之刑,無道之刑也,而君行之。臣竊以為下吏過也。」王曰:「寡人爾以民多犯法,為法之輕也。」子高曰:「然。此誠君之盛意也。夫人含五常之性,有哀樂喜怒。哀樂喜怒無不過其節。節過,則毀於義。民多犯法,以法之重,無所措手足也。今天下悠悠,士亡定處,有德則住,無德則去。欲規霸王之業,與諸大國為難,而行酷刑以懼遠近,國內之民將畔,四方之士不至。此乃亡國之道。君之下吏不具以聞,徒恐逆主意以為憂,不慮不諫之危亡。其所矜者小,所喪者大。故曰『下吏之過也』。臣觀之,又非徒不諍而已也。心知此事之為不可,將有非議在後,則因曰:君忿意實然,我諫諍必有龍逄、比干之禍。是為虛自居於忠正之地,而闇推君主使同於桀紂也。且夫為人臣,見主非而不諍,以諂主於危亡,罪之大者也。人主疾臣之弼己而惡之,資臣以箕子、比子之忠,惑之大者也。」齊王曰:「謹聞命。」遂除車裂之法焉。
