《宋史·列传·卷一百九十七》
后皇帝下诏派中使谭纯德以翰林学士的职位去征召王应麟，有见识的人都认为，皇帝剥夺了王应麟重要的官职，却以清闲的职务来笼络他，这不是对待贤人的礼节。
诏中使谭纯德以翰林学士召，识者以为夺其要路，宠以清秩，非所以待贤者。
Later, the emperor ordered Tan Chunde, a middle使, to go to Wang Yinglin in the name of Bachelor of Hanlin Academy. People with insight believed that the emperor had deprived Wang Yinglin of his important official position, but wanted to win him over with an idle position, which was not a proper way to treat a wise man.
