《宋史·列传·卷一百二十二》
黄潜善等人向来厌恶他不同流合污，皇上车驾驻扎在扬州，迫于所闻，不得已下还京之诏，于是借渡江之议责怪他，斥逐而死。景衡去世后，高宗思念他说 ：我从即位以来，执政忠直，遇事敢言者，只有景衡一人。 
卒，谥忠穆。上每念之，谓悫谋国尽忠，遇事敢谏，古之遗直也。
Huang Qianshan and others had always disliked Jingheng for not colluding with them. The emperor’s carriage was stationed in Yangzhou, and oppressed by what he had heard, he unwillingly gave an edict to return to the capital. They thus seized on the proposal to cross the river to blame him, and expelled him until he died. After Jingheng died, Emperor Gaozong thought of him and said: Since my accession to the throne, only Jingheng has been loyal and upright in his governing, and dared to speak out when he encountered matters.
