1 靳尚:
屈子謂楚襄王曰:「王之所以愛靳尚者,謂其善任使令與?夫國王國,民王民也,靳子有事焉,非王言不獲,是楚人之聽於靳子也,以王故。然則靳子無王不可也,而王亦何賴於靳子哉?今王委國靳子,食不由靳子則不甘於口,衣不繇靳子則不安於體,出號令不繇靳子則王心惘然以為不足,臣竊惑焉。昔商王受之任蜚廉、惡來輩也,惟王之所欲而奉之,揣王之心,度王之意,多方以迎合,自以為大忠於王,而不知為王集天下之怒,牧野之聚,王亡而身與之俱,亦何益哉?今靳子不鑒往轍,而王蠱是裕。王忱有德令,則靳子收其恩,曰:『余實為之。』民弗堪命,則曰:『余將若王何?』利究於下,而怨歸於上。臣恐楚國之非王國也。」襄王大怒,放屈子於湘江之源。屈子去楚,楚乃大弱於秦。
