御史中丞劉贊坐不糾舉，將加笞，諫議大夫鄭元弼切諫，曦謂元弼曰：「卿何如魏鄭公，乃敢強諫！」 Censor-in-Chief Liu Zan was charged with failing to impeach the offenders and was about to be flogged. Remonstrance Counselor Zheng Yuanbi protested sharply. Xi told him, "What makes you think you are Duke Wei of Zheng that you dare remonstrate so boldly?"

曦喜，乃釋贊不笞。 Xi was amused and spared Zan the flogging.

諸子繼柔棄酒，並殺其贊者一人。 When his son Jirou poured away wine, Xi also executed one of the attendants who had urged him to drink.
