《宋史·列传·卷四十二》
王钦若缓缓说： 先帝当然知道这些，大概是留给皇上收揽民心呵。 当天下令蠲免百姓所欠一千多万，释放囚徒三千多人。
真宗大惊曰： 先帝顾不知邪？ 钦若徐曰： 先帝固知之，殆留与陛下收人心尔。 即日放逋负一千余万，释系囚三千余人。
Wang Qinruo said slowly: The late emperor of course knows all these, it's probably left for His Majesty to win over the people's hearts. Orders were immediately given to forgive the people's debts of more than ten million, and more than three thousand prisoners were released.
