《宋史·列传·卷一百九十九》
臣希望陛下停止审官和三班，把它们的职权仍交还给中书、枢密和宣徽院，银台司也仍归还给枢密院，审判院也恢复到刑部，这样做的目的，是去掉繁杂琐细，减省机构。
臣欲望停审官、三班，复委中书、枢密、宣徽院，银台司复归枢密，审刑院复归刑部，去其繁细，省其头目。
I hope that Your Majesty will close the Censorate and the Three Bureaus, and return their functions to the Central Secretariat, the Privy Council, and the Institute of Briefing and Announcement. The Silver Terrace Office will also be returned to the Privy Council, and the Court of Judicature will be restored to the Ministry of Justice. The purpose of this is to remove excesses and redundancies, and to reduce institutional size.
