光緒二十四年，變法詔下，禮部主事王照應詔上言，尚書許應騤不為代奏。 In 1898, when the reform edict was issued, Wang Zhao of the Ministry of Rites responded to the edict with a memorial, but Minister Xu Yingkui did not transmit it.

御史宋伯魯、楊深秀聯名劾以守舊迂謬，阻撓新政，諭應騤明白回奏，覆奏稱珍惜名器，物色通才，並辭連工部主事康有為，請罷斥驅逐。 Censors Song Bolu and Yang Shenxiu jointly impeached him for conservatism and obstruction of the new policies; the throne ordered Xu to reply clearly, and in reply he spoke of cherishing offices and seeking able men, also implicating Kang Youwei of the Ministry of Works and asking that he be dismissed and driven out.

罷斥禮部尚書許應騤等阻遏言路，遂命致靖權右侍郎。 Minister of Rites Xu Yingkui and others who had obstructed memorials to the throne were removed, and Zhijing was appointed acting right vice minister.

深秀乃與徐致靖先後疏請定國是，又以取士之法未善，請參酌宋、元、明舊制，釐正文體，下其議於禮部，尚書許應騤心非之，未奏也。 Shenxiu and Xu Zhijing then submitted successive memorials asking that the national course be fixed; finding the method of selecting talent inadequate, Shenxiu urged that the old systems of Song, Yuan, and Ming be consulted, literary forms standardized, and the matter referred to the Ministry of Rites, but Minister Xu Yingkui privately disapproved and never forwarded the proposal.

會議經濟特科務減額，於是深秀合宋伯魯彈其阻撓。 When the economic special examination came up for discussion with efforts to cut its quota, Shenxiu joined Song Bolu in impeaching Xu Yingkui for obstruction.

上令應騤自陳，奏上，劾康有為夤緣要津，請罷斥，詞連深秀，上不之詰也。 The Emperor ordered Xu Yingkui to explain himself; in his reply Xu impeached Kang Youwei for currying favor at key posts and asked that he be dismissed, implicating Shenxiu in the wording, but the Emperor did not pursue Shenxiu.

七月，禮部主事王照上封事，尚書許應騤等格不奏。 In the seventh month, Ministry of Rites secretary Wang Zhao submitted a sealed memorial, but Minister Xu Yingkui and others blocked it and did not present it.
