丁丑，斬內供奉官孫延希於都市，禦廚使董延勛、副使張皓、武德副使盧繼升並停職。 On dingchou, Inner Attendant Sun Yanxi was executed in the capital; Imperial Kitchen Commissioner Dong Yanxun, Vice Commissioner Zhang Hao, and Wude Vice Commissioner Lu Jisheng were all dismissed.

時重修永福殿，命延希督役，上見役夫有就瓦中啖飯，以柿為匕者，大怒，斬延希而罷延勛等。 While the Hall of Eternal Felicity was being rebuilt, Yanxi supervised the work. The Emperor saw laborers eating from roof tiles and using persimmons as spoons, flew into a rage, executed Yanxi, and dismissed Yanxun and the others.
