《宋史·本纪·卷二十七》
二十日，吕颐浩等因早灾请求罢去职务，高宗赐给诏书说： 与其离开职位，倒不如君臣同心协力，共同修养，改正缺陷，想想办法怎样克服早灾带来的困难。 
癸酉，吕颐浩等以旱乞罢政，帝赐诏曰： 与其去位，曷若同寅协恭，交修不逮，思所以克厌天心者。 
On the 20th, Lu Yizhao and others requested to resign from office due to the drought; Emperor Gaozong issued an edict that said that instead of the officials leaving their posts, it was better for the monarch and his ministers to work together harmoniously, improve themselves, correct their shortcomings, and figure out a way to overcome the hardships brought on by the drought.
