《宋史·列传·卷二百三十二》
他们曾一起谈论人才，张浚十分推崇秦桧，赵鼎说： 此人得志，我们就将手足无措啦！ 张浚不以为然，故而推荐秦桧，他们共事后方知他的昏暗，不再推荐他。
尝共论人才，浚剧谈桧善，鼎曰： 此人得志，吾人无所措足矣！ 浚不以为然，故引桧，共政方知其暗，不复再荐也。
They once talked about the talents together. Zhang Jun greatly admired Qin Hui. Zhao Ding said: If this person succeeds, we will not be able to do anything. Zhang Jun did not think so. Therefore, he recommended Qin Hui. Only after they worked together did they realize his dullness, and they stopped recommending him.
