鳳閣侍郎任知古、冬官尚書裴行本等七人被誣當死，後謂宰相曰：「古人以殺止殺，我今以恩止殺，就群公丐知古等，賜以再生，可乎？」 Phoenix Pavilion vice minister Ren Zhigu, Winter Office minister Pei Xingben, and seven others faced false charges of death. The empress told the chancellors, "The ancients stopped killing by killing; I now wish to stop killing by grace. I ask you to spare Zhigu and the others and give them life again—is that possible?"
