《宋史·列传·卷二百三十二》
他们多是言官，听任秦桧摆布，秦桧以政府要职回报他们，由中丞、谏议而升为执政者有十二人，但他们骤升骤降，有的只任一个月，有的任半年即被罢去。
又多自言官听桧弹击，辄以政府报之，由中丞、谏议而升者凡十有二人，然甫入即出，或一阅月，或半年即罢去。
Most of them were speech officials who were at the mercy of Qin Hui. Qin Hui rewarded them with important government positions. Twelve of them rose from Zhongcheng and remonstrance to become rulers, but they rose and fell sharply. Some served for only one month, and some were dismissed after half a year.
