御史季振宜繼劾，亦及國祥、正學，並正宗貪賄營利諸事。 Censor Ji Zhenyi followed with a memorial, also implicating Guoxiang and Zhengxue, together with Zhengzong's taking bribes and seeking profit in various matters.

亦責裔介、振宜不早糾參，並奪官待質。 he also rebuked Yijie and Zhenyi for not memorializing early, and stripped both of office pending verification.

旋議上裔介、振宜劾正宗罪狀鞫實者十一事，罪當絞。 Shortly afterward the deliberation found eleven counts in Yijie and Zhenyi's memorial against Zhengzong substantiated by interrogation; the offense warranted strangulation.
