廢帝大喜，佗日以琦等語問樞密直學士薛文遇，文遇大以為非，因誦戎昱「社稷依明主，安危托婦人」之詩，以誚琦等。 Emperor Fei was greatly pleased. Another day he asked Privy Direct Academician Xue Wenyü about Qi's proposal. Wenyü strongly objected and recited Rong Yu's verse, "The altars depend on a wise lord; safety and peril rest on a woman," to mock Qi and the others.
