既與鄭瑴力爭降封高宗事，未幾出知瑞州，右正言呂祉奏：「朝廷今日緣論大臣移一言官，明日罷一言官，則後日大臣行事有失，誰敢言者。」 After he and Zheng Jue had forcefully opposed demoting Gaozong's titles, he was soon sent out to govern Ruizhou. Right remonstrance officer Lü Zhi memorialized, "If the court today transfers a remonstrance officer for disputing a minister, and tomorrow dismisses one, then when ministers err in future, who will dare speak up?"
