《宋史·列传·卷二百三十》
哲宗说 ：朕遵循祖宗遗制，不曾杀戮大臣，释放他们不要治罪。 但是重新得罪的有十多人，有的被三四次贬谪迁移，天下人都认为他们冤枉。
哲宗曰： 朕遵祖宗遗制，未尝杀戮大臣，其释勿治。 然重得罪者千余人，或至三四谪徙，天下冤之。
Zhezong said: I follow the ancestral system and have never killed my ministers. I release them without punishment. However, more than ten people have re-offended, and some have been demoted and relocated three or four times. People all over the world believe they are wronged.
