泉州刺史余廷英嘗矯曦命掠取良家子，曦怒，召下御史劾之。 Quanzhou prefect Yu Tingying had forged Xi's orders to seize daughters of respectable families. Xi was furious and ordered the censors to prosecute him.

廷英進買宴錢千萬，曦曰：「皇后土貢何在？」 Tingying offered ten million cash to buy his way out of prosecution. Xi demanded, "Where is the empress's tribute?"

廷英又獻皇后錢千萬，乃得不劾。 Tingying paid another ten million for the empress and was spared prosecution.
