《宋史·列传·卷一百七十三》
端平元年，皇上亲政，显赫盛大，独自处理政事，郑清之也慨然以天下为己任，召回真德秀、魏了翁、崔与之、李埴、徐侨、赵汝谈、尤煜、游似、洪咨夔、王遂、李宗勉、杜范、徐清叟、袁甫、李韶，当时号称 小元 。大多相继担任宰辅，只有崔与之始终推辞不来，隐士如刘宰、赵蕃都被表彰。
端平元年，上既亲总庶政，赫然独断，而清之亦慨然以天下为己任，召还真德秀、魏了翁、崔与之、李、徐侨、赵汝谈、尤焴、游似、洪咨夔、王遂、李宗勉、杜范、徐清叟、袁甫、李韶，时号 小元祐。 大者相继为宰辅，惟与之终始辞不至，遣逸如刘宰、赵蕃皆见旌异。
In the first year of Duanping, when the emperor took the throne in person, he was highly reputed and handled the state affairs independently. Zheng Qingzhi also felt duty-bound to the country, recalling Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Cui Yuzhi, Li Zhi, Xu Qiao, Zhao Rutan, You Yu, You Si, Hong Zikui, Wang Sui, Li Zongmian, Du Fan, Xu Qingsou, Yuan Fu, and Li Shao. They were hailed as “little yuan” at that time. They were appointed to the top ministerial posts one after another, but only Cui Yuzhi declined persistently. Recluses like Liu Zai and Zhao Fan were also highly praised.
