不惟不罷斥隆升而已，如王士俊以加賦為墾荒，肆毒中州，又請為田文鏡立賢良祠。 Not only has Longsheng not been dismissed; men such as Wang Shijun, who treated tax increases as land reclamation and wantonly harmed the central provinces, also requested establishing a shrine of worthy and good men for Tian Wenjing.

文鏡劾振國等，上遣侍郎海壽、史貽直往按，請以學海從，得文鏡欺罔狀，將以實入告，繼乃反之，學海爭不得。 When Wenjing impeached Zhenguo and others, the emperor dispatched Vice Ministers Haishou and Shi Yizhi to investigate and requested that Xuehai accompany them. They obtained evidence of Wenjing's deception and were about to report the facts, but afterward reversed themselves; Xuehai argued but could not prevail.

使還，擢御史，嘗以語濟世，濟世用是劾文鏡。 When the mission returned, he was promoted to censor. He once told Jishi of this, and Jishi used it to impeach Wenjing.
