濟世在戍九年，高宗即位，詔開言路，為建勳將軍欽拜草奏，請責成科道嚴不言之罰，恕妄言之罪，上嘉納焉。
Jishi was in exile nine years. When the Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne, an edict opened the path of remonstrance. Merit-establishing General Qinbai drafted a memorial for him requesting that censors be held strictly accountable for silence and pardoned for speaking rashly; the emperor commended and accepted it.
濟世以所撰大學注、中庸疏進上，略言：「大學注中，九卿、科道所議諷刺三語，臣已改刪，惟分章釋義，遵古本不遵程、硃，習舉業者有成規，講道學者無厲禁。
Jishi presented his commentary on the Great Learning and his exegesis of the Doctrine of the Mean, stating briefly, "In the Great Learning commentary, the three satirical phrases deliberated by the Nine Chief Ministers and censors I have already revised and deleted. Only in dividing chapters and explaining meaning I follow the ancient text rather than Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi. Those studying for examinations have fixed rules; those lecturing on the Way face no strict prohibition.
皇上既深惡之，乃調回而仍用，逮勘而復赦，乃者清問及之，議者謂將用為籓臬。
Your Majesty already deeply detests him, yet he was recalled and still employed; when investigated he was again pardoned; and recently at imperial inquiry some said he would be used as provincial treasurer or intendant.
上特授濟世湖南糧儲道。
The emperor specially appointed Jishi grain storage commissioner of Hunan.
上命解任，交總督孫嘉淦會鞫，濟世捕衡陽丁役下長沙知府張琳，讞得徵收浮費有據。
The emperor ordered him relieved of duty and referred the case to Governor-General Sun Jiagan for joint trial. Jishi arrested Hengyang clerks and runners and submitted them to Changsha Prefect Zhang Lin; sentencing established that extra fees had been collected, with evidence on record.
上命侍郎阿里袞如湖南會嘉淦按治，而倉德以嘉淦寢其事，复揭都察院奏聞。
The emperor ordered Vice Minister Aligun to go to Hunan and jointly investigate with Jiagan. Cang De, because Jiagan had shelved the matter, again submitted it through the Censorate to inform the throne.
上責嘉淦草率扶同，召還京師，解容、璨任，奪琳、德貽、澎官。
The emperor rebuked Jiagan for carelessness and collusion, recalled him to the capital, relieved Rong and Can of duty, and stripped Lin, Deyi, and Peng of office.
阿里袞尋奏濟世被誣劾，請復官，容、璨及按察使王玠皆坐奪官，上命並罷嘉淦，而獎倉德及定，調濟世驛鹽道。
Aligun soon memorialized that Jishi had been falsely impeached and requested his restoration to office; Rong, Can, and surveillance commissioner Wang Jie were all stripped of office for their roles. The emperor ordered Jiagan dismissed as well, commended Cang De and Ding, and transferred Jishi to the courier and salt circuit.
蔣溥代為巡撫，嗛濟世密進所著書，斥為離經畔道，上曰：「朕不以語言文字罪人。」
Jiang Pu replaced him as governor, resented Jishi's secret presentation of his own writings, and denounced them as departing from the classics and rebelling against the Way. The emperor said, "I do not punish people for words and writing."
