《宋史·列传·卷一百五十一》
六月初八，晚上五更，重华宫的大宦官叩响宰执赵汝愚的家门，报告孝宗驾崩的消息，中书报告皇上，赵汝愚担心皇上疑心病发作，又不肯出来视朝，就扣住奏札不呈上。
六月丁酉，夜五鼓，重华大阉扣宰执私第，报孝宗崩，中书以闻，汝愚恐上疑，或不出视朝，持其札不上。
On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, at the fifth watch, the eunuch of Chonghua Palace knocked on the door of Prime Minister Zhao Ruyu's house and reported the news of Xiaozong's death. Zhongshu reported to the emperor. Zhao Ruyu was worried that the emperor would suspect that the disease had recurred, and he refused to come out to meet the dynasty, so he detained the memorial and did not submit it.
