《宋史·列传·卷七十一》
王安石说 ：古代的六卿，就是如今的宰相，有司马、司徒、司空，各占一职，于事理有什么危害呢？ 陈升之说 ：如果制置百司条例是可以的，但如今设置的是制置三司官职，则不行。 由此得罪了王安石，声称有病回家休养三个多月，神宗多次敦促告谕，才重新归职。
安石曰： 古之六卿，即今之执政，有司马、司徒、司空，各名一职，何害于理？ 升之曰： 若制置百司条例则可，但今制置三司一官，则不可。 由是忤安石，称疾归卧逾十旬，帝数敦谕，乃出。
Wang Anshi said: The six ministers of ancient times were the prime ministers of today. Sima, Situ, Sikong each held a post. What harm is there to the truth of the matter? Chen Shengzhi said: If it is possible to formulate ordinances for the Baisi, it is not possible to establish the official position of the Sansi Ordinance. Offending Wang Anshi, he claimed to be ill and went home to recuperate for more than three months. Emperor Shenzong repeatedly urged the edict before he resumed office.
