三司使、梁國公李峴執奏，固言不可，乃六等定罪，多所原宥，唯陳希烈、達奚珣斬於獨柳樹下。
Li Xian, Duke of Liang and commissioner of the Three Offices, submitted a forceful memorial insisting this must not be done. Guilt was then graded into six classes; many were spared, and only Chen Xilie and Daxi Xun were beheaded beneath the Lone Willow Tree.
上元元年七月，器病腳腫，月余疾亟，瞑目則見達奚珣，叩頭曰：「大尹不自由。」
In the seventh month of 760, Qi's legs swelled with edema; after more than a month his illness turned grave. Whenever he closed his eyes he saw Daxi Xun kowtowing and saying, "Great Chief, you are not free of this."
左右問之，器答曰：「達奚大尹嘗訴冤於我，我不之許。」
When those at his bedside asked, Qi answered, "Chief Daxi once pleaded his case to me, and I refused him."
器深文樂禍，居官令終，非達奚訴冤，無以顯其陰責矣。
Qi heaped severity upon the fallen and delighted in their ruin, yet died in high office—an end that was not natural; had Daxi not pleaded his case from beyond the grave, Qi's hidden guilt would never have been revealed.
贊曰：崔器深文，達奚作祟。
The Eulogy says: Cui Qi piled on severity—Daxi returned to haunt him.
