《宋史·列传·卷一百四十六》
东宫建成，王十朋被任命为太子詹事，他极力推辞，皇上诏令州郡以礼请他来，王十朋于是勉强带病前往朝廷，因为脚病不能走，皇上诏令派人扶着，免去他的拜礼。
东宫建，除太子詹事，力辞，诏州郡礼致，遂力疾造朝，以足疾不能趋，诏给扶减拜。
After the East Palace was built, Wang Shi-peng was appointed Crown Prince Grand Preceptor. He did his best to decline the position, but the emperor sent a decree to the prefecture and county officials, asking them to send for him respectfully. Wang Shi-peng had no choice but to go to court, even though he was ill. He was unable to walk because of foot problems, so the emperor ordered someone to help him and excused him from the kowtow.
