《宋史·列传·卷一百一十二》
当时三省大员官阶与卿、监相同的人，都站在都司的上面，聂昌认为名分不正，极力争论。
时三省大吏阶官视卿监者，立都司上，昌以名分未正，极论之。
At that time, the great officials of the three provinces with the same rank as the prime minister and the minister all stood above the commander, which Nie Chang thought was inappropriate and argued strongly against it.
