文紀素與宰相崔協有隙，協除工部郎中於鄴，文紀以鄴與其父名同音，大怒，鄴赴省參上，文紀不見之，因請連假。 Wenji had long been at odds with Chancellor Cui Xie. When Xie appointed Yu Ye as a director in the Ministry of Works, Wenji flew into a rage because Ye was homophonous with his father's name. When Ye came to the ministry for his induction audience, Wenji refused to receive him and took an extended leave.

已而鄴奉使未行，文紀即出視事，鄴因醉忿自經死，文紀坐貶石州司馬。 Before Ye could depart on a mission he was assigned, Wenji returned to his desk. Ye, drunk and enraged, hanged himself. Wenji was demoted to military adjutant of Shizhou.
