《宋史·列传·卷一百三十四》
希望选择忠实严格稳重的将领担任殿前司军统帅，弥补禁卫军缺额，让它隐然自成一军，那么驾驭众将，就像手臂指使手指一样了。
愿择忠实严重之将以为殿帅，稍补禁卫之阙，使隐然自成一军，则其驭诸将也，若臂之使指矣。
I hope that loyal, strict, and steady generals will be selected to serve as commanders of the Dianqiansi Army, to make up for the shortage of the Imperial Guard, so that it can become an army of its own, in which case the generals can be controlled like arms directing fingers.
