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.

旋召濟世還京師，复補江南道御史。 Jishi was soon summoned back to the capital and reappointed censor of the Jiangnan circuit.

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.

乾隆二年，濟世疏曰：「臣今所言者有二：一曰去邪勿疑，一曰出令勿貳。 In the second year of Qianlong, Jishi memorialized, "What I speak of now has two points: first, remove the wicked without doubt; second, issue orders without duplicity.

上特授濟世湖南糧儲道。 The emperor specially appointed Jishi grain storage commissioner of Hunan.

八年，濟世聞衡陽知縣李澎徵賦縱丁役索浮費，易服偽為鄉民納賦者以往，察得實，善化知縣樊德貽與同弊，濟世詳劾。 In the eighth year Jishi heard that Hengyang Magistrate Li Peng, in collecting taxes, indulged clerks and runners in demanding extra fees. He changed clothes and disguised himself as a villager paying taxes, verified the facts, and found that Shanhua Magistrate Fan Deyi shared the same misconduct; Jishi memorialized a full impeachment.

巡撫許容庇德貽等，以濟世盪檢逾閒列狀入告。 Governor Xu Rong shielded Deyi and the others and memorialized accusing Jishi of licentious conduct beyond bounds.

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.

容令岳常澧道倉德代濟世，布政使張璨附容指，貽書倉德，令更易長沙府詳牒。 Rong ordered Yue-Chang-Li Circuit Intendant Cang De to replace Jishi. Provincial administration commissioner Zhang Can followed Rong's lead and sent a letter to Cang De ordering him to alter the Changsha prefecture's detailed report.

倉德初官給事中，嘗劾濟世奏事失儀，至是不直璨所為，發其書上嘉淦及漕運總督顧琮，嘉淦庇容，寢其事。 Cang De had earlier served as supervising secretary and once impeached Jishi for impropriety in memorializing. Now he did not approve of Can's conduct and sent the letter up to Jiagan and Grain Transport Governor-General Gu Cong. Jiagan shielded Rong and shelved the matter.

御史胡定糾容挾私誣劾，採湖南民謠，斥容與璨等朋謀傾濟世。 Censor Hu Ding impeached Rong for acting from private motives in a false impeachment, collected Hunan folk songs, and denounced Rong and Can and others for factional conspiracy to overthrow Jishi.

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."

未幾，復言其老病，乃命休致。 Before long he again reported Jishi's old age and illness, and Jishi was ordered to retire.

與濟世友，授山東恩縣知縣，行取刑部主事，遷員外郎。 He was a friend of Jishi, was appointed magistrate of En County in Shandong, was selected for promotion to principal clerk in the Ministry of Punishments, and rose to vice director.

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.

都察院劾偽病，並及與濟世交關狀，奪官，命與濟世同效力軍前。 The Censorate impeached him for feigned illness and also cited his association with Jishi; he was stripped of office and ordered to serve together with Jishi before the army.
