丁巳，以端明殿學士呂琦為御史中丞。 On dingsi Lü Qi, academician of the Hall of Illustrious Brightness, was appointed Censor-in-chief.

〈（案《通鑒》：呂琦與李崧建和親契丹之策，為薛文遇所沮，改為御史中丞，蓋疏之也。）〉 (Per the 《Comprehensive Mirror》, Lü Qi and Li Song had proposed an alliance with the Khitan through marriage; thwarted by Xue Wenyu, Lü was reassigned as Censor-in-chief, likely to push him aside.)
