伶人李可及為懿宗所寵，橫甚，彥昭奏逐，死嶺南。 The performer Li Keji was a favorite of Yizong and behaved with outrageous arrogance. Yanhao submitted a memorial calling for his banishment, and Keji died in Lingnan.

至懿宗立，去位，鄴乃申直其冤，復官爵，世高其義。 When Yizong came to the throne and Tao left office, Ye petitioned to rectify Deyu's wrong and had his offices and titles restored. His contemporaries greatly honored this act of righteousness.
