What he needs to know is from the Treasury. Xu Shiqi always holds the story style. His party is noisy in court and does not move. Huang zunsu, the imperial censor, issued a prison order against Wei Zhongxian. Xu Shiqi tried his best to rescue him, angering Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, the son of marquis Wang Sheng (the mother of emperor Xizong and the younger brother of the Empress Dowager) of Xincheng, went to prison and ordered him to falsely accuse Xu Shiqi of taking bribes, arrest his family, and remove him from his post.

In 1640, Emperor Chongzhen asked about three things: guarding the border, saving the famine and pacifying the people. Xu Shiqi was praised by Emperor Chongzhen for his "mutual use of agriculture and war in guarding the border, persuading the people to lose millet in saving famine, and using officials and talents in the province to pacify the people.".
Management and punishment Department
In 1642, he was promoted to the right Minister of the Ministry of punishment and tried Li rixuan and other cases. Emperor Chongzhen said, "in the ceremony of meibu, Japan claimed to be favoritism." Xu Shiqi was demoted to the second rank. First of all, he would push cabinet officials, and Li rixuan pushed them again and again, because of the influence of Fang Kezhuang, the Deputy capital, song Mei, the right Minister of the Ministry of work, Zhang Sanmo, the Minister of Dali temple, Xu Shiqi and Yan. Xu Shiqi didn't go to the hall alone. The emperor was angry, and Li rixuan and Li Ke were all given to Zhang Zhengchen, Henan Taoist censor Zhang Xuan, Fang Kezhuang, song Mei, Zhang Sanmo and huishiyang. On behalf of huishiyang, Xu Shiqi was in charge of the Department and turned into Zuo Shilang.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was under the control of power and punishment, and the judge cited the law, most of which was supported by the association of Shenzhen literature and art. Xu Shiqi was ordered to clear the prison, to deduce the meaning of the law, and to correct more than ten chapters that are not in accordance with the law. How much relief will be given to the thirteen prisoners who will be tried in one trial. However, Mr. Lian was very famous for the time, and no one dared to be spared. Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of war, was jailed and rescued by chaoshiduo. Xu Shiqi said: "there is no border diplomacy between people and officials. Those who are not in the court, who do not sue your father, and who specialize in cheap goods. Chen Xinjia's private money insults the country. When he loses the law of the city and village, he will be beheaded. " The emperor said, "if you don't win, you can rewrite it." Chen Xinjia's fall into four border cities, seventy-two belly cities and seven relatives and vassals has never happened before. When the enemy is in short supply and fails to advance troops on time, those who make mistakes in military aircraft will be killed. Chen Xinjia abandoned the city, and Chen Xinjia's party hated him.
Xu Shiqi was promoted to minister of the Ministry of punishment. The middle official Wang Yumin sat in the Party of Liu Yuanbin. Liu Yuanbin plundered the army and killed him in ambush. Wang Yumin was sent to prison for cheating and concealment. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to kill him. At first, he ordered the three law departments to work with him. Later, he paid him to the Ministry of punishment. Xu Shiqi discussed how to guard against miasma. Play into, Department courtyard Temple name to enter. Emperor Chongzhen was angry at his loss. He called imperial censor Liu Zongzhou and said, "this prison is not a minister." Xu said: "although I don't listen to you, I read you the same. I've already made up my mind. The criminal officer is in charge of fal'er. This is the law. Xu Shiqi is not a private Wang Yumin. " Emperor Chongzhen said, "this slave has cheated me. How can you tell?" Xu Shiqi changed his Ci and abandoned the city. However, Liu Zongzhou was severely punished for rescuing Jiang Yu and Xiong Kaiyuan, and Jin Guangchen, the imperial censor of Jindu, rescued them and seized their posts. Xu Shiqi will not accept any more. Jiang Bi and Xiong Kaiyuan issued an imperial edict to prison and were transferred to the Ministry of punishment for conviction. According to the original words, Xu Shiqi intended to redeem Xiong Kaiyuan's apprentice, and Jiang Yu was banished to garrison, but no longer heard from him. The emperor Chongzhen is responsible for the petition, and the story of Xu Shiqi is right. Emperor Chongzhen was very angry. Except for the three names of the commander, Xu Shiqi was dismissed from his post.
In 1644, Zhu Yousong, king of Fu, ascended the throne in Nanjing. He established yuanhongguang and appointed Xu Shiqi as the Deputy censor of the capital. Later, he changed the right censor of the capital and promoted him to the Minister of the Ministry of officials. He played the following seven roles: Chen Sheng Shu Guan, Shen unconventional, long-term duty, heavy name instrument, strict rise and abolishment, Ming recommendation, and honest communication. In the examination of the time, he discriminated with Liu Zongzhou, the imperial censor of the capital. Lu Lang bribes eunuchs to keep them, but Xu Shiqi commits the crime. Lu Lang got angry and slandered Xu Shiqi, who said he was ill and begged for rest. Huang Erding also impeached Shi Qi and said that he killed Chen Xinjia in vain. Xu Shiqi sparsely argued, seeking to get rid of Yili. Ma Shiying drew up a strict decree, but king Fu did not allow it, and ordered him to return to the post.
Xu Shiqi is just Fang Qingjie. He is frustrated by the traitors. Ma Shiying took advantage of dingce Gong to seal the picture, and Xu Shiqi discussed it. Zhongguantian Chengdai asked for bribes, but Xu Shiqi refused. The reason is that both China and foreign countries are resentful. After going there, he was extremely gracious and added the crown prince and Taibao.
In the first year of Hongguang (1645), the Hongguang regime perished. When Xu Shiqi lived outside the county city, the city was about to break down.
