《宋史·列传·卷七十二》
仁宗急切地用天下太平来督责宰相辅臣们，多次下诏督责富弼与范仲淹等，又打开天章阁，给予笔和纸，让他们写下要办的事情；并且任命范仲淹主管西部边境之事，富弼主管北部边境之事。
帝锐以太平责成宰辅，数下诏督弼与范仲淹等，又开天章阁，给笔札，使书其所欲为者；且命仲淹主西事，弼主北事。
Renzong eagerly urged the Prime Minister and assistants to maintain peace in the world. He repeatedly issued an imperial edict to urge Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan and others. He also opened the Tianzhang Pavilion, gave them pens and papers, and asked them to write down what they were going to do. He also appointed Fan Zhongyan to be in charge of the western border, and Fu Bi to be in charge of the northern border.
