湯若望及刻漏科杜如預、五官挈壺正楊宏量、歷科李祖白、春官正宋可成、秋官正宋發、冬官正硃光顯、中官正劉有泰皆凌遲處死； Tang Ruowang, Clepsydra officer Du Ruyu, water-clock officer Yang Hongliang, calendar officer Li Zubai, Spring Officer Song Kecheng, Autumn Officer Song Fa, Winter Officer Zhu Guangxian, and Central Officer Liu Youtai were all sentenced to death by slicing;

得旨，湯若望效力多年，又復衰老，杜如預、楊宏量勘定陵地有勞，皆免死，並令覆議。 The throne replied: Tang Ruowang had served many years and was now old; Du Ruyu and Yang Hongliang had toiled surveying the tomb site—all were spared death, and the case was sent back for review.
