己丑，以使部尚書、判太常卿事李琪為御史大夫； On jichou Li Qi, envoy minister and acting Ceremonies director, became censor-in-chief;

時百僚入閣班退後，卻引對朝貢蕃客，御史大夫李琪奏論之，下禮院檢討，而降是命焉。 Li Qi had protested that after hall audience the court still received tributary envoys in the side hall; Rites reviewed the case and Mingzong issued this order.
