帝使興安問疾。 The emperor sent the eunuch Xing An to ask after his health.

群臣既退，太監興安匍匐出呼曰：「若等固欲遣使，有文天祥、富弼其人乎？」 After the ministers withdrew the eunuch Xing An crawled out calling, "If you insist on envoys, are there men like Wen Tianxiang or Fu Bi among you?"

安語塞，乃議遣使，命李實、羅綺往。 Xing An was silenced; they then agreed to send envoys and appointed Li Shi and Luo Qi.
