十五年，大學士熊賜履票本有誤，改寫草簽，既又毀去。 In Kangxi 15 (1676) Grand Secretary Xiong Cilü's draft memorial was faulty; he rewrote it on a slip and then destroyed the slip.

索額圖與大學士巴泰、杜立德等疏劾，賜履坐罷歸。 Songgotu joined Grand Secretaries Batai and Du Lide in impeaching him, and Cilü was dismissed and sent home.

獨其弟秉義文行兼優，原任禮部尚書熊賜履理學醇儒，乞立即召用，以佐盛治。 Only his younger brother Bingyi is outstanding in learning and conduct; former Minister of Rites Xiong Cilu is a true Neo-Confucian master—I urge that he be recalled immediately to help perfect the reign.

如是數年，匯分成帙，而大學士熊賜履續奉監修之命，檄取傳稿以進，玉書、廷敬暨臣皆未參閲。 After several years the biographies were assembled, but Grand Secretary Xiong Cilü, who had succeeded to the supervising post, requisitioned the draft biographies for submission without Zhang Yushu, Chen Tingjing, or myself having reviewed them.

不獨臣爲然，前入直諸臣，如熊賜履、葉方靄、張玉書、孫在豐、王士禎、硃彝尊等，近今同事諸臣，如陳廷敬、徐乾學、王鴻緒、張英、勵杜訥等，莫不皆然。 Nor was I alone: earlier men who served in the direct studios—Xiong Cilü, Ye Fang'ai, Zhang Yushu, Sun Zaifeng, Wang Shizhen, Zhu Yizun—and recent colleagues such as Chen Tingjing, Xu Qianxue, Wang Hongxu, Zhang Ying, and Li Dun'e all followed the same rule.
