語在《孝閔帝紀》。 The account is in the Records of Emperor Xiaomin.

尋而廢帝，召遠及植還朝。 Soon afterward the emperor was deposed; Li Yuan and Li Zhi were summoned back to court.

乃召入，仍命遠同坐，令帝與植相質於遠前。 He then summoned them in, ordered Li Yuan to sit with him, and had the emperor and Li Zhi confront each other before Li Yuan.

植辭窮，謂帝曰：「本為此謀，欲安社稷，利至尊耳。 Li Zhi was cornered; he said to the emperor: "This plot was originally to settle the realm and benefit Your Majesty alone.

孝閔帝踐阼，出為海州刺史。 When Emperor Xiaomin acceded, Li Ji was posted out as governor of Haizhou.
