《辽史·本纪·卷三十》
当天祚帝流亡之时，耶律淳作为都元帅留守南京，难道就不能愤激大义以激励燕京百姓及众大臣，兴勤王之师，东拒金人从而迎回天祚吗？
当天祚播越，以都元帅留守南京，独不可奋大义以激燕民及诸大臣，兴勤王之师，东拒金而迎天祚乎？
When Emperor Tianzuo went into exile, Yelü Chun, as grand marshal, remained in Nanjing. Could he not have acted with righteous indignation and spurred the people of Yanjing and the officials into action to raise an army to restore the king and fight the Jurchens in the east, thereby welcoming back Tianzuo?
