《宋史·列传·卷一百九十五》
陛下慨然有削平宇内之志，已有二十余年，天下之士始知奋斗方向，其有功于社稷者，可谓数说不尽。高宗皇帝年迈时，陛下不想大举北伐，以免惊动高宗慈颜，只能压抑心思，俯首敬老。陛下孝道之盛，可谓史无前例。
高宗皇帝春秋既高，陛下不欲大举，惊动慈颜，抑心俯首，以致色养，圣孝之盛，书册之所未有也。
For more than twenty years, Your Majesty has been determined to pacify the world, and the scholars of the world have finally found the direction of their struggle. Those who have contributed to the country can be said to be countless. When Emperor Gaozong was old, Your Majesty did not want to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition to avoid worrying the kind-hearted Emperor Gaozong, and could only suppress your thoughts and respectfully care for your elders. Your Majesty's filial piety can be said to be unprecedented in history.
