十三年，總理孝慎皇后喪儀，會奏軍民薙發及停止宴會期限疏中，誤引「百姓如喪考妣，四海遏密八音」語，下諸臣嚴議。 In the thirteenth year he directed the mourning ceremonies for Empress Xiaoshen. In a joint memorial setting out the periods for military and civilian tonsure and for suspending banquets, he wrongly cited the lines “The people mourned as for a father and mother, and music was stilled throughout the realm”—language appropriate to an emperor's death, not an empress's. The case was sent to the ministers for severe review.
