《宋史·列传·卷一百一十九》
可是陛下为人言所惑，诏令安置到其他的馆舍，给予厚待，愚臣不敢奉诏，以示国家衰弱。 皇上于是亲自致书告谕宗泽，最终还是将金使释放。
而陛下惑于人言，令迁置别馆，优加待遇，臣愚不敢奉诏，以彰国弱。 上乃亲札谕泽，竟纵遣之。
However, your highness is clouded by others' words and has ordered that they be accommodated in another lodging place and treated with hospitality. This humble minister dares not obey the imperial edict, lest this show our national weakness. The emperor subsequently personally wrote a letter and instructed Zong Ze, who eventually did release the Jurchen envoys.
