《宋史·列传·卷二十四》
有人对李亻必说 ：李公对你历来不厚重，为什么还数次拜访他呢？ 李说： 我当廷尉时，李公刚刚执掌权政，未曾有一事请托，这是我之所以敬重他的原因啊。 
或谓佖曰： 李公待君素不厚，何数诣之？ 佖曰： 我为廷尉日，李公方秉政，未尝一有请求，此吾所以重之也。 
Someone asked Li Bi: "Prime Minister Li has never been particularly good to you, why do you still visit him so often?" Li Bi said: "When I was the director of the court of justice, Prime Minister Li had just taken over the government. He never asked me for any favours, which is why I respect him so much."
