《宋史·列传·卷四十二》
我们这些人没有能辨别真假，赖英明的皇上明察他们的奸事，这是国家的福呵。 于是降职丁谓为太子少保，遣派到西京。
臣等莫辨虚实，赖圣神察其奸，此宗社之福也。 乃降谓太子少保、分司西京。
We could not discern the truth, but thankfully the emperor, in his wisdom, saw through their treachery. This is a blessing for our nation. Ding Wei was demoted to junior tutor of the crown prince and sent to the Western Capital.
