李紱自廣西巡撫遷直隸總督，入對，力陳振國無罪，御史謝濟世劾文鏡亦及之，言與紱合。 When Li Fu was transferred from governor of Guangxi to governor-general of Zhili, at audience he strongly maintained that Zhenguo was innocent. Censor Xie Jishi's impeachment of Wenjing also cited this matter, and his words matched Fu's.

上疑紱與濟世為黨，召紱還京師，戍濟世。 The emperor suspected Fu and Jishi were in league; he summoned Fu back to the capital and banished Jishi.

謝濟世，字石霖，廣西全州人。 Xie Jishi, whose style name was Shilin, came from Quanzhou in Guangxi.

上方倚文鏡，意不懌，命還濟世奏，濟世堅持不可。 The emperor was then relying on Wenjing and was displeased. He ordered Jishi to withdraw his memorial, but Jishi firmly refused.

上諭曰：「文鏡秉公持正，實心治事，為督撫中所罕見者，貪贓壞法，朕保其必無，而濟世於督撫中獨劾文鏡，朕不知其何心？ The emperor said, "Wenjing upholds justice impartially and governs with a sincere heart—rare among governors. As for greed and corruption, I guarantee he has none. Yet among all governors Jishi impeaches Wenjing alone—what can his intent be?

奪濟世官，下大學士、九卿、科道會鞫，濟世辨甚力。 Jishi was stripped of office, and the case was referred to the grand secretaries, Nine Chief Ministers, and censors for joint trial. Jishi argued vigorously.

讞上，以濟世所言風聞無據，顯係聽人指使，要結朋黨，擬斬。 When the sentence was submitted, because Jishi's charges were hearsay without basis and he had clearly acted at others' direction and formed factions, execution was proposed.

上先入文鏡言，不直紱，而濟世罪狀文鏡又及枉振國、言綸、諴庇球諸事。 The emperor had first accepted Wenjing's account and did not side with Fu, yet Jishi's charges against Wenjing again cited the wrongful cases of Zhenguo, Yanlun, and Yan and Wenjing's shielding of Qiu.

上召大學士、九卿、科道等入見，舉前事，謂：「濟世言與紱奏一一吻合，今詰濟世劾文鏡諸事，濟世皆茫無憑據，俯首無詞，是其受人指使，情弊顯見。」 The emperor summoned the grand secretaries, Nine Chief Ministers, censors, and others for audience, cited the prior matters, and said, "Jishi's words match Fu's memorials point for point. Now when Jishi is questioned on his impeachment of Wenjing, he has no basis for any of it and bows his head without a word—clearly he was directed by others; the circumstances are obvious."

命奪濟世官，往阿爾泰軍前效力贖罪。 He ordered Jishi stripped of office and sent to serve before the army in Altai to redeem his crime.

濟世至軍，大將軍平郡王福彭頗敬禮之，濟世講學著書不稍輟。 When Jishi reached the army, Generalissimo Fupeng, Prince of Ping, treated him with considerable respect, and Jishi continued lecturing and writing without pause.

七年，振武將軍順承郡王錫保以濟世撰古本大學注毀謗程、硃，疏劾，請治罪。 In the seventh year, Pacifying Martial General Xibao, Prince of Shuncheng, citing Jishi's commentary on the ancient text of the Great Learning as slandering Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi, memorialized in impeachment and requested punishment.

上摘「見賢而不能舉」兩節注，有「拒諫飾非，拂人之性」語，責濟世怨望謗訕，下九卿、翰詹、科道議罪。 The emperor excerpted the commentary on the two passages "seeing the worthy and not being able to advance him," which contained the words "rejecting remonstrance, covering faults, going against human nature," and charged Jishi with resentment and slander. The case was referred to the Nine Chief Ministers, Hanlin academicians, and censors for deliberation on punishment.

復引見，上見其傲慢，以其廣西人，疑與濟世為黨，命奪官發軍前，令與濟世同效力。 At a second audience the emperor found him arrogant. Because he was from Guangxi, the emperor suspected he was in league with Jishi and ordered him stripped of office and sent to the army to serve together with Jishi.

上並下九卿、翰詹、科道議罪，尋議濟世詆訕怨望，怙惡不悛，生棻憤懣猖狂，悖逆恣肆，皆於軍前正法。 The emperor referred both cases to the Nine Chief Ministers, Hanlin academicians, and censors for deliberation. Soon it was decided that Jishi had slandered and harbored resentment without reform, and that Shengfen was resentful, reckless, rebellious, and unrestrained—all were to be executed before the army according to law.

上密諭錫保誅生棻，縛濟世使視，生棻既就刑，宣旨釋之。 The emperor secretly instructed Xibao to execute Shengfen, bound Jishi and made him watch, and after Shengfen had been executed proclaimed an edict releasing Jishi.
