韓侂胄與德謙爭用事，德謙屢以計勝，侂胄擠之，詔與外祠，台諫又交章論駁。 Han Tuozhou fought him for power; Deqian outmaneuvered him until Tuozhou forced an outer temple stipend; censors piled on.

汝愚遣戚裏韓侂胄因內侍張宗尹以禪位之議奏，太皇太後曰：“此豈可易言！” Ruyu sent his kinsman Han Tuozhou through eunuch Zhang Zongyin to propose abdication; the Grand Empress Dowager said, “How can such a thing be spoken of lightly!”

明日，汝愚再遣侂胄附宗尹以奏，未獲命而侂胄退，與禮遇，禮知其意，問之，侂胄不以告。 Next day Ruyu sent Tuozhou again through Zongyin; before an answer came Tuozhou met Li; Li sensed the plot and asked; Tuozhou would not tell.

禮指天自誓不言，侂胄遂白其事，禮即入宮，泣告太后以時事可憂之狀，且曰：“留丞相已去，所恃者趙知院耳。 Li swore by Heaven he would keep silent; Tuozhou then confided; Li rushed in weeping to tell the empress dowager the realm was in peril: “Chancellor Liu is gone—we have only Director Zhao.

太后悟，遂命禮傳旨侂胄以諭汝愚，約明日太后垂簾上其事。 She understood, ordered Li to tell Tuozhou to inform Ruyu, and set the morrow for a curtained audience.
