《宋史·列传·卷一百四十一》
绍兴十二年，秦桧乘着金兵失败后收兵北归，将诸路军马全部撤回，再次乞求与金人和谈。秦桧开始追究过去那些仗义直言敢于反抗他的大臣之罪，秦桧的走狗立即指出李弥逊和赵鼎、王庶、曾开四人曾同时阻止宋金和议。
十二年，桧乘金兵既败，收诸路兵，复通和好，追仇向者尽言之臣，嗾言者论弥逊与赵鼎、王庶、曾开四人同沮和议。
In the twelfth year of the Shaoxing Era, after the Jin army's defeat and retreat to the north, Qin Hui withdrew all the armies from the various routes and again sought peace with the Jin. Qin Hui began to investigate those ministers who had dared to speak up against him in the past. Qin Hui's followers immediately pointed out that Li Mixun, Zhao Ding, Wang Shu, and Zeng Kai had all opposed the peace treaty between Song and Jin.
