《宋史·列传·卷一百五十四》
我每次与金人见面，金人一定会问方信孺今在何处，公论所推崇，即使是敌人也不能掩饰。 于是皇帝下诏，放松对方信孺的管制，允许他自由活动。
柟每见，金人必问信孺安在，公论所推，虽敌人不能掩也。 乃诏信孺自便。
Whenever I met the Jin people, they were sure to ask me where Fang Xiru is at present. He is held in high esteem by public opinion, and even our enemies cannot hide their admiration for him. Therefore, the emperor issued an edict, releasing Fang Xiru and allowing him to move freely.
