壬午，西京留臺侍御史趙礪彈奏，太子太保王延、太子洗馬張季凝等，自去年五月後來，每稱請假，俱是不任拜起。 On renwu, the Western Capital deputy censor Zhao Li impeached the Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent Wang Yan, the Heir Apparent's Stud Zhang Jining, and others: since the fifth month of last year, whenever they claimed leave they were all unable to perform bowing and rising.

詔延等宜以本官致仕。 An edict ordered Yan and the others to retire with their present offices.
