《宋史·列传·卷二百零四》
他又上奏章说： 崇宁、大观以来，那些用钱贿赂当权的大臣和侍臣，像奴隶一样事奉宦官，以及开拓边境祸国殃民，因而取得职位名称，自观文殿大学士而下至直秘阁和官至银青光禄大夫的人，近年来对他们稍微有些削级和革职，可是从建炎开始，却对他们进行恩赦，现在又该甄别和恢复他们的官职，臣认为，何不依国初的惯例，这些人的官只让他们做到中大夫。 
又言： 崇、观以来，赀结权幸，奴事阉宦，与开边误国，得职名自观文殿大学士而下直秘阁、官至银青光禄大夫者，近稍镌褫，而建炎恩宥，又当甄复，盍依国初法，止中大夫。 
He again submitted a memorial saying: Since the reigns of Chongning and Daguan, those who bribed powerful ministers and attendants with money, served the eunuchs like slaves, and started wars of aggression against neighboring countries, causing the country to suffer greatly, thereby attaining official titles - from the Grand Scholar of Wenzheng Hall down to the assistant of the Secretariat and the Chief Advisor to the Envoys — have in recent years suffered some reduction in rank or been dismissed from office. From the beginning of the Jianyan reign, however, they have been given an amnesty and their official ranks and positions have been reinstated. Your servant believes that we should not reinstate their official ranks and positions, according to the practice of the early years of the founding of our dynasty, and that they should be allowed to hold only the position of Zhong大夫.
