《宋史·列传·卷七十一》
如今选用的人才不精干，又没有考核督查，不是愚昧无能懦弱，就是任意欺凌刻薄之徒，因此疾苦忧愁叹息，都被阻塞，皇帝不能听到。
今选用不精，又无考课，非暗滞罢懦，则凌肆刻薄，所以疾苦愁叹，雍圩上闻。
At the present time, the men chosen for important posts are not efficient, and moreover there has been no examination or supervision; either they are stupid, incapable and abject, or they are tyrannical and rapacious to the utmost; therefore suffering, anxiety and bitterness are all shut out and the emperor does not hear.
