《辽史·列传·卷二十八》
因为陈奏案件，兴宗皇上正好与近臣谈话，没有理睬，刘伸进言说： 我听说自古以来帝王必定都看重百姓的生命，希望陛下省览我的奏折。 皇上惊奇无比，将他提升为枢密都承旨，权中京副留守。
因奏狱，上适与近臣语，不顾，伸进曰： 臣闻自古帝王必重民命，愿陛下省臣之奏。 上大惊异，擢枢密都承旨，权中京副留守。
As he was presenting a case, Emperor Xingzong happened to be discussing something with his close officials and did not pay attention to him. Liu Shen then said: "I heard that emperors throughout history have always valued the lives of the people. I hope Your Majesty will read my memorial." Shocked by his statement, Emperor Xingzong promoted him to Shu Mi Du Chengzhi (Assistant to the Minister of the Privy Council), and he concurrently served as Deputy Military Governor of Zhongjing.
