有頃,玨以老病耳疾,不任中書事,四上章請,明宗惜之,久而方允,乃授開府儀同三司,行尚書左僕射致仕,仍賜鄭州莊一區。 Before long Jue, citing old age, illness, and deafness, declared himself unfit for Secretariat duties and submitted four memorials asking to retire. Emperor Mingzong was reluctant but eventually consented, granting him the title kaifu yitong sansi and acting left vice director in retirement, together with an estate in Zheng Prefecture.
