《宋史·列传·卷一百八十八》
知阁门事张说任命为签书枢密院事，张栻连夜草拟奏疏特别劝谏不可这样做，早晨到宫廷上朝时，他指责、质问宰相虞允文说 ：宦官执政掌权，从蔡京、王黼任相开始，皇上宠幸的人执掌政权，从你相公开始。 虞允文因此惭愧、愤懑不堪。
知阁门事张说除签书枢密院事，栻夜草疏极谏其不可，旦诣朝堂，质责宰相虞允文曰： 宦官执政，自京、黼始，近习执政，自相公始。 允文惭愤不堪。
Zhang Shuo, the official in charge of the imperial secretariat, was appointed to sign documents for the privy council. During the night, Zhang Shi drafted a memorial and strongly advised against doing this. In the morning, at court, he condemned and interrogated Prime Minister Yu Yunwen, saying: "Eunuchs have been in charge of the government since Cai Jing and Wang Fu became prime ministers. The emperor's favorites have been in charge of the government since you, my lord, became prime minister." Yu Yunwen was greatly ashamed and resentful.
