帝聞頗怒，而陳希烈固爭當以大逆。 The emperor was greatly angered when he heard this, and Chen Xilie insisted the crime should be charged as great treason.

鉷未知，方上表自解，有詔希烈訊鉷矣，有司不肯通奏。 Hong knew nothing of this and was submitting a memorial to clear himself when an edict had already ordered Chen Xilie to interrogate him; the offices would not even forward his petition.
