《宋史·列传·卷二百三十三》
襄阳投降，贾似道说： 臣起初多次请求到边境，先帝都不允许，如果早让臣出朝，应该不会落到如此地步。 
襄阳降，似道曰： 臣始屡请行边，先帝皆不之许，向使早听臣出，当不至此尔。 
Xiangyang surrendered, Jia Sidao said: I have repeatedly requested to go to the border, but the late emperor did not allow it. If I had been allowed to leave the court earlier, it should not have come to this point.
