《宋史·本纪·卷七》
二十四日，特别寒冷，左右向真宗进献貂帽和毛皮大衣，真宗推辞说： 臣下都很冷，肤怎么能用这个！  王继忠多次来上奏请和，真宗对宰相说： 王继忠说契丹请求讲和，肤虽然答应了，但黄河已经结冰，而且契丹诈伪无常，不可不为之防备。 
甲戌，寒甚，左右进貂帽毳裘，却之曰： 臣下皆苦寒，朕安用此？ 王继忠数驰奏请和，帝谓宰相曰： 继忠言契丹请和，虽许之，然河冰已合，且其情多诈，不可不为之备。 
On the 24th day, the weather was particularly cold. The emperor's entourage offered sable caps and fur coats to Emperor Zhenzong, but he declined, saying, "My subjects are all cold, how can I use these!" Wang Jizhong repeatedly asked for peace, and Emperor Zhenzong said to his prime minister, "Wang Jizhong said that the Khitan asked for peace, although I agreed. But the Yellow River is already frozen, and the Khitan are treacherous and inconstant, so we must be prepared for them."
