泚將朝，使雲達先入奏，同府蔡廷玉譖於泚，奏貶為平州參軍。 When Ci was about to attend court, he had Yunda enter first to present a memorial; Cai Tingyu of the same headquarters slandered him to Ci, and he was memorialized for demotion to military adjutant of Pingzhou.

廷玉與要藉官朱體微它日與泚從容言：「滔非長者，不可付以兵。」 Tingyu and palace attendant Zhu Tiwei once spoke casually to Ci: "Tao is not a man of mature character; you must not entrust troops to him."

雲達數漏其語以怒滔，故滔論廷玉等，皆得罪死。 Yunda repeatedly leaked their words to anger Tao; therefore Tao impeached Tingyu and the others, and all were condemned to death.
