杜弘徽任中書舍人，綮以其兄讓能輔政，不宜處禁要，上還制書，不報，輒移病去。 When Du Hongwei was appointed Secretariat drafter, Qi argued that because Hongwei's elder brother Rangneng was assisting in government, he ought not hold so sensitive an inner-court post. Qi returned the appointment edict to the throne, and when no answer came, he promptly claimed illness and resigned.
