《宋史·列传·卷一百一十七》
有人担心太上皇可能有什么意料不到的打算，李纲请求前去，他说： 这没有别的意思，只不过想知道朝廷的事情罢了。 李纲到后，详细地对徽宗说明了钦宗皇帝圣明忠孝，非常思念太上皇，想治理和保护好国家，早日迎接太上皇回京城等情况。
或虑太上意有不测，纲请行，曰： 此无他，不过欲知朝廷事尔。 纲至，具道皇帝圣孝思慕，欲以天下养之意，请陛下早还京师。
Some people worried that the retired emperor may have unforeseen plans. Li Gang volunteered to meet him and said: "This has no other implications, I just want to know about the court's affairs." After Li Gang arrived, he told Emperor Huizong in detail about Emperor Qinzong's intelligence and loyalty, how he missed the retired emperor, how he wanted to govern well and protect the country and how he wanted to welcome the retired emperor back to the capital city soon.
