《宋史·列传·卷一百二十一》
高宗对颐浩、秦桧说 ：颐浩主管军事，秦桧治理政事，就像种、蠡那样分职。 二人共同执政，秦桧知道颐浩不被舆论赞许，多引荐知名人士帮助自己，打算倾轧他而独掌朝政。
高宗谕颐浩、秦桧曰： 颐浩治军旋，桧理庶务，如种、蠡分职可也。 二人同秉政，桧知颐浩不为公论所与，多引知名士为助，欲倾之而擅朝权。
Emperor Gaozong said to Yi Hao and Qin Hui: Yi Hao handles military affairs, and Qin Hui handles political affairs. It's like 種 and 蠡 sharing responsibilities. Although they were both in power, Qin Hui knew that Yi Hao wasn't well received by the public so he recommended more famous people to help him, hoping to exclude him and take charge of the court on his own.
