六年，疏劾曲阜知縣毓琚不職，毓琚亦訐廣棨居鄉不法，下巡撫按治，上原廣棨而譴毓琚。 In the sixth year he memorialized against Qufu magistrate Yu Ju for dereliction of duty. Yu Ju in turn accused Guang Qi of misconduct at home. The case was sent to the provincial governor for investigation; the Emperor excused Guang Qi and punished Yu Ju.

自毓琚與廣棨互訐坐罷官，廷議以衍聖公諮送易涉私，孔氏子領鄉縣，所隸皆親屬，審斷亦未能悉公，擬更前例。 After Yu Ju and Guang Qi impeached each other and lost their posts, the court argued that when the Duke Yansheng forwarded nominations private favor was too easily involved, and that when a Kong clansman governed the county with kinsmen as subordinates judgments could hardly be fully impartial; they therefore proposed altering the old practice.
