《宋史·列传·卷七十三》
纵使不能尽如古人，亦应考虑一下天下优秀的人才。 又有一些小人一个劲地攻击宣仁皇太后垂帘时事，纯仁奏曰： 太皇保佑天子身体，功绩和诚心，幽明共鉴，议论的人不体恤国事，是多么浅薄。 于是把仁宗禁止谈论明肃皇太后的垂帘事的诏书呈上，并说： 希望陛下仿照实行，以戒绝浅薄之俗。 
纵未能如古人，亦须极天下之选。 又群小力排宣仁后垂帘时事，纯仁奏曰： 太皇保佑圣躬，功烈诚心，幽明共监，议者不恤国事，一何薄哉。 遂以仁宗禁言明肃垂帘事诏书上之。曰： 望陛下稽仿而行，以戒薄俗。 
Even if one cannot entirely become like the ancients, one should still consider the superior talents in the country. Some villains continually attacked the Empress Xuanren’s regency. Chunren submitted a memorial and said: The Empress Dowager protected the emperor. Her achievements and sincerity are witnessed both by the underworld and the living. People who make such comments do not care about national affairs. They are so shallow. He then presented Renzong's imperial edict prohibiting the discussion about Empress Ming Su’s regency, and said: I hope Your Majesty will follow this example to warn against such vulgarity.
