惟宋珪、潘守恆頗能諷諫宣、哀，時有裨益，蓋傭之佼佼、鐵之錚錚者也。 Only Song Gui and Pan Shouheng could remonstrate with Emperors Xuanzong and Aizong with real effect, and at times they did genuine good — the finest among servants, ringing true as tempered iron.

潘守恆 Pan Shouheng

有潘守恆者亦內侍也，素稱知書，南遷後規益甚多。 There was also Pan Shouheng, an inner attendant long known for learning. After the court moved south, his counsel proved of great benefit again and again.

及哀宗自蒲城走歸德，道次民家，守恆進櫛，曰：「願陛下還宮之日無忘此草廬中，更加儉素，以濟大業。」 When Aizong fled from Pucheng toward Guide and lodged at a farmer's house along the road, Shouheng brought him a comb and said, "When Your Majesty returns to the palace, do not forget this thatched hut. Be still more frugal and plain, that the great enterprise may yet be saved."
