《宋史·列传·卷二百二十八》
军器监叶宗谔说 ：陛下为什么吝惜一个康履，不杀他以慰抚三军？ 皇上不得已，派人抓来康履，康履望着皇上大呼 ：陛下为什么只杀我？ 皇上就把康履交给苗傅，苗傅立即砍下他的头。
不除之，天下之患未已。 军器监叶宗谔言： 陛下何惜一康履，不以慰三军？ 帝不得已，遣人执履至，履望帝呼曰： 大家何独杀臣？ 遂以付傅，即腰斩之。
Ye Zong’e of the Ordnance Bureau said: Why is Your Majesty reluctant to spare Kang Lu? Why not kill him to appease the three forces? The Emperor had no choice but to send someone to arrest Kang Lu. Kang Lu looked at the Emperor and exclaimed: Why is Your Majesty only killing me? The Emperor then handed Kang Lu over to Miao Fu, who immediately beheaded him.
