Dong Xuan, Shao Ping, is a Liu Chen scholar. He used to be the county magistrate of Beihai County (now southeast of Changle County, Shandong Province), and just took office, he met a murder case. It turned out that there was a local strongman named Gongsun Dan who built a new house and invited a Feng Shui gentleman to see the Yin and Yang rooms to see the good or ill luck of the new house. Mr. Feng Shui said, "Although the house was well built, it was built on a malefic star, which caused a disaster. If you live inside, you will definitely die. " The palace was frightened and asked him if he could crack it. Mr. Feng Shui shook his head and said, "Unless you kill someone and bury his body in the yard, otherwise. . . . . Gong asked, "or what? "Mr. Feng Shui said," What I said is not necessarily right. It's up to you. "I didn't expect GongSunDan to believe it, so he let his son rob and kill a passerby. Father and son secretly buried the body in the yard to avoid disaster for themselves. Dong Xuan was very angry when he heard this. He immediately sent someone to arrest Gong and his son and dug up the body in his yard. The father and son confessed, took them to the execution ground and beheaded them.
Not convinced, the Gong family gathered more than 30 relatives and took weapons to the county government to make trouble. Dong Xuan sent someone to visit and learned that GongSunDan had formed a clique with Wang Mang in his early years, and some of his relatives colluded with bandits to harm the people, which greatly angered the local people. Dong Xuan simply made a donkey and arrested all his relatives and beheaded them. Qingzhou secretariat sentenced Dong Xuan to death and sent him to Chang 'an for execution in the name of killing too many people.
On that day, nine people were tortured at the same time The executioner beheaded eight people in a row, and it was Dong Yi's turn. However, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty sent someone to ride a fast horse to issue an order, demanding a retrial of Dong Xuan's case, and the beheading officer took him back to prison. Afterwards, Emperor Guangwu sent messengers to Dong Yi to investigate and ask him why he killed so many people. Chongyi told the messenger in detail. After understanding the situation, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty thought that Dong Xuan had done the right thing and ordered him to be released.
Soon, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty wrote an imperial edict specifically for Dong Xuan, and worshipped him as Luoyang Order. Luoyang is the seat of Beijing, which is much more complicated than Beihai. Especially those lawless bureaucrats and nobles and their children, don't take the small Luoyang mausoleum seriously. Dong Yi doesn't care about this, regardless of bureaucrats, nobles or poor people. As long as he commits crimes under his command, he treats them equally and governs them according to law.
One day, the sister of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, a servant of Princess Huyang's family, killed someone for fighting with them in the street. He was afraid of Dong Xuan's punishment, so he fled back to Princess Populus euphratica's house to hide. He was afraid to go out for many days.
Dong Xuan inquired about the situation and immediately sent someone to Princess Populus euphratica's house to catch the murderer. Princess Huyang just harbored slaves and refused to hand them over. So Dong Yi sent someone to spy on the whereabouts of Princess Populus euphratica, waiting for an opportunity to catch the murderer. Later, Princess Huyang took a large group of slaves because she had something to go out. The murderer thought that he had escaped the limelight, followed Princess Populus euphratica out of the door and drove the carriage for the princess without fear. After Dong Xuan got the news, he immediately took the people from the county government to Xiamen Pavilion, where Princess Huyang must pass.
Before long, Princess Populus euphratica and her party arrived. Dong Xuan went over to stop the chariots and horses, pointed a knife at the ground and said to Princess Populus euphratica, "Tell the princess that your servant killed someone and committed a capital crime. Please hand over the murderer at once! "
Princess Huyang wanted to hide it from the past, pretending that it never happened, and said to Dong Yi, "How can we kill people if our slaves don't go out these days?" You must be mistaken! "Dong Xuan was so angry that he couldn't help scolding loudly." Many people saw your slaves killing people in broad daylight. If you don't believe me, I can call them to testify! Princess Huyang knew that she couldn't be fooled, so she quickly changed her tone and told Dong Xuan, "This slave is very capable. I can't live without him at home. Even if he kills someone, for my sake, please let him live! " Dong Xuan not only refused, but also severely reprimanded Princess Huyang. He said, "Because you have no discipline, your slaves dare to do evil. Since he killed someone, he should pay for it. Are you still pleading for him, not afraid of violating the laws of the imperial court? " "The murderer saw something bad and was scared to hide behind Princess Huyang. Dong Xuan ordered his soldiers to pull him out of the car and put him to death on the spot in front of Princess Populus euphratica.
This time, Princess Huyang was very angry. She immediately ran to the emperor's office to find Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, where she cried bitterly and asked Emperor Guangwu to avenge her. Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty thought that Dong Xuan had bullied his sister, so he flew into a rage and immediately sent someone to arrest Dong Xuan, intending to beat him alive with a disorderly stick in front of Princess Huyang.
Dong Yi was taken into the palace, kowtowed to the ground and said to Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, "If your majesty wants to kill me, I would rather die. But before I die, please let me speak for ten days, okay? " Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty looked at Dong Yi and said, "What do you want to say?" Dong Yi said, "Your Majesty was wise and SHEN WOO, and only then did he pacify the world and restore the Han Dynasty. The princess's domestic slave killed someone. I'm not afraid of offending the princess, and I'm not afraid of beheading and killing people. It is to safeguard the dignity of the court. Your majesty let the princess's domestic slaves kill people casually. How can you govern the country in the future? You don't have to let others kill me. I will die myself. " Say that finish, he hit the pillar of the hall, hit the wall, deep red blood dripping down his cheeks.
Emperor Guangwu hurriedly asked eunuchs to hold Dong Yi. Only after careful inquiry did he know that Dong Xuan was not wrong. But in order to take care of Princess Populus euphratica's face, he still asked Dong Xuan to kowtow to Princess Populus euphratica, say a few words of apology and settle the matter. But Dong Xuan was unconvinced and said nothing. Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty ordered Dong Xuan to be pulled to Princess Huyang, forcing him to kneel down to Princess Huyang. Dong Yi sat on the ground with his hands on the ground and straightened his neck, but he didn't bow his head. Seeing him like that, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty had to wave his hand and let the left and right sides let him go.
Princess Huyang was very dissatisfied with Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, so she couldn't help complaining about him. She said, "When the emperor was a civilian, he also took fugitives, and officials dared not come to our house to arrest people. Now your majesty is a dear paradise. " Because my son can't even cure a small county magistrate? "Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty said with a smile: When you become an emperor, you can't do what you did when you were a civilian. Dong Xuan is such a person, he is not wrong. If I treat him casually, the minister of the DPRK will call me a bad king. Who will help me faithfully? "
Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty persuaded Princess Huyang to leave and asked the eunuch to treat Dong Xuan to dinner as a sign of mourning. Dong Yi was rude. He ate all the wine and rice and knocked over the glasses and plates on the table. The eunuch thought that Dong Xuan had deliberately insulted the emperor, so he sent him to Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu was very angry and asked him what it was. "I eat wine and rice given by your majesty, just like I do things for your majesty, and I will keep my word. Dong Xuan said unhurriedly: Give all my strength and dare not stay at all. I turned the glass and plate upside down to show my spare effort. " Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty laughed at Dong Yi's words. Not only did he not blame him, but he also gave him 300 thousand yuan as a reward for his law enforcement, not for his power. It is best to go back to the county government and give all the money to his men. He didn't leave any money himself.
"Cui Neck County Magistrate" became the nickname of Dong Xuan. From then on, all the hooligans in Luoyang were not afraid of him. A few years later, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty was promoted to the position of the most censor, responsible for picketing corrupt officials. After Dong Xuan came to power, he did punish some corrupt officials, and made contributions to clarifying the bureaucracy and rectifying the platform of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. However, he also offended powerful people and was stabbed to death during a case-handling trip. Deeply regretful, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty reburied him according to Qi Huangong's ceremony.
