桂清力言免稅之不可，改約之難成，桂良亦贊其議，上甚怒，必責其補救一二端，而各國因廣東民團仍與為難，且出示偽載諭旨，堅欲罷兩廣總督黃宗漢，停撤民團。 He Guiqing argued forcefully that duty waivers were impossible and treaty revision unrealistic; Gui Liang agreed. The emperor was furious and demanded some concession in return. Meanwhile the powers, citing clashes with Guangdong militia and even a forged imperial edict, insisted on removing Governor-General Huang Zonghan and keeping the militia intact.

桂良等疏聞，乃解宗漢通商大臣，改授桂清。 When Gui Liang reported this to court, Huang Zonghan was removed as trade commissioner and He Guiqing was appointed in his place.
