李懌，京兆人也。 Li Yi was a native of Jingzhao.

懌幼而能文，進士擢第，解褐為校書郎、集賢校理、清河尉。 Yi could write from childhood. He passed the jinshi examination and upon entering service became collator, collator in the Hall of Assembled Worthies, and assistant magistrate of Qinghe.

莊宗平汴、洛，責授懷州司馬，遇赦，量移孟州，入為衛尉少卿。 When Zhuangzong conquered Bian and Luoyang, Yi was demoted to military adjutant of Huaizhou. An amnesty followed and he was transferred in reduced rank to Meng Prefecture, then entered court as vice director of the Court of Imperial Regalia.

夢徵等請懌為之，懌笑而答曰：「李懌識字有數，頃歲因人偶得及第，敢與後生髦俊為之標格！ Mengzheng and the others asked Yi to do it. Yi smiled and said, "Li Yi knows only so many characters. A few years ago I passed the examination only by chance through others' help. How dare I set the standard for the brilliant young men of today!
