又奏：「上皇疾未平，驟聞此事，不無驚疑，乞令都知楊舜卿提舉本宮，任其責。」 He also asked, "The Retired Emperor is still ill. This news may alarm him. Let Director Yang Shunqing oversee his palace and bear full responsibility."

遂召舜卿至簾前，面喻之。 Shunqing was summoned before the curtain and instructed in person.

帝以疾不朝重華宮，源與內侍楊舜卿、林億年數有間言。 Ill, the emperor stopped attending Chonghua Palace; Yuan and inner attendants Yang Shunqing and Lin Yinian repeatedly traded slanders.

詔罷源等官，源撫州、億年常州居住，舜卿任便居住。 An edict removed Yuan and the others from office: Yuan to Fuzhou, Yinian to Changzhou, Shunqing free to reside where he wished.

慶元二年，以生皇子恩，源、億年許自便，舜卿與內祠。 In Qingyuan 2, on the birth of a prince, Yuan and Yinian were allowed free movement and Shunqing received an inner temple stipend.

義端再駁舜卿內祠，反坐外補，其後源等卒聽自便。 Yiduan objected again to Shunqing's inner stipend and was himself punished with an outer appointment; afterward Yuan and the others were finally left free.
