《宋史·列传·卷一百一十八》
 臣远离朝廷，虽然不完全知道其中的详细情况，然而根据愚臣的猜测，金人以这个名义派遣使者，其强求大略有五个方面：必定颁降诏书，想要陛下屈体降礼以听命，这是其一。
臣在远方，虽不足以知其曲折，然以愚意料之，金以此名遣使，其邀求大略有五：必降诏书，欲陛下屈体降礼以听受，一也。
Your Excellency is distant from the court and may not be fully aware of the details, but Your Excellency's guess is that the Jin envoy sent this message with five main requests. First, they will definitely issue an imperial edict, demanding that Your Majesty bow and obey.
