《宋史·列传·卷一百八十一》
使国家大乱的人上奏骗人的话以逢迎皇上，依赖国家的人掩盖着耻败的局面而且不敢议论，主持国家事务的人不清楚安危的预兆而不知道悔过。
迷国者进慆忧之欺以逢其君，托国者护耻败之局而莫敢议，当国者昧安危之机而莫之悔。
People who have caused the country to fall into great disorder submit deceitful words to flatter the emperor, people who are dependent on the country cover up the shameful situation and dare not discuss it, and people who preside over state affairs are not aware of the signs of danger and do not know how to repent.
