《宋史·列传·卷六十三》
王济说 ：陛下继承二位先帝的基业，拥有百万臣民，那些愚昧无知丑陋的边境民族，胆敢随意侵犯我们，这大概是当今治理国家的人不能和以前相比。
济曰： 陛下承二圣之基，拥百万之众，蠢兹丑虏，敢尔凭陵，盖谋谟当国之人未有如昔之比。
Wang Ji said: Your Majesty inherited the foundation of the two former emperors and has millions of subjects. Those ignorant and ugly border nations dare to invade us at will. This is probably because today's governors cannot be compared with the past.
