《宋史·列传·卷一百六十七》
弹劾到亲戚故旧时就把劾奏他们的奏章留在宫中，不批示，不交议，弹劾到自己宠幸的人时就替他们了结，事情有阻碍的，就公布出去，有疑点的情况则进行调解停止执行。
言及亲故则为之留中，言及私昵则为之讫了，事有窒碍则节帖付出，情有嫌疑则调停寝行。
When he impeached members of his family or old friends, he would leave the memorials recommending their impeachment in the palace, without annotating or discussing them. When he impeached those whom he favoured, he would bring matters to a conclusion for them. If there were obstacles in the way, he would make things public, and if there were doubts, he would negotiate a suspension of the execution of the sentence.
