退出左掖門，吏部尚書王直執謙手歎曰「國家正賴公耳。 Leaving by the Left Flank Gate, Minister of Personnel Wang Zhi took Qian's hand and sighed: "The realm now depends on you alone.

今日雖百王直何能為！」 Today a hundred men like me could do nothing!"

叛閹喜寧嗾使邀大臣迎駕，索金帛以萬萬計，復邀謙及王直、胡濙等出議。 The defecting eunuch Xi Ning urged them to summon ministers to welcome the captive emperor, demanding gold and silk by the myriad, and again invited Qian, Wang Zhi, Hu Ying, and others to come out and negotiate.
