十月，以前司農卿李渙飛語，詔左丞李蹊、戶部侍郎楊綎系獄，將以軍儲失計坐罪。 Tenth month: on former minister of agriculture Li Huan's whispered charges, an edict imprisoned left vice director Li Xi and vice minister of revenue Yang Shao for failure in military-store planning.

俄蹊、綎並除名，而止籍綎家貲。 Soon Xi and Shao were both struck from the rolls; only Shao's household goods were inventoried.

以右丞相、樞密使兼左副元帥賽不，平章政事、權樞密使兼右副元帥白撒，右副元帥兼樞密副使權參知政事訛出，兵部書權尚書左丞李蹊，元帥左監軍行總帥府事徒單百家等率諸軍扈從。 Saibu, right chief councillor, privy councilor, and left vice marshal; Ba Sa, chief councillor, acting privy councilor, and right vice marshal; Echu, right vice marshal, privy vice commissioner, and acting participation councillor; Li Xi, acting minister of war and acting left vice director; Tushan Baijia, left marshal-inspector and acting headquarters commander, and others led the escort.

戊辰，官奴以忠孝軍為亂，攻殺馬用，遂殺尚書左丞李蹊、參知政事石盞女魯懽、點檢徒單長樂，從官右丞已下三百餘人。 On wuchen Guan Nu mutinied with the Loyal-and-Filial Army, killed Ma Yong, then slew Li Xi, Shi Zannü Luhuan, Tushan Changle, and over three hundred courtiers through the right vice director.
