At that time, the slaves of Princess Huyang's house killed people during the day, but because they were hiding in the princess's house, the officials could not catch him. When the princess traveled and used this servant as her entourage, Dong Xuan waited for them at Xiamen Pavilion. So he stopped the carriage and horses, drew on the ground with his knife, loudly criticized the princess's fault, scolded the slave to get out of the car, and killed the slave. The princess immediately returned to the palace to complain to the emperor. The emperor was very angry and summoned Dong Xuan to beat him to death with a whip. Dong Xuan kowtowed and said, "Please let me say a word before I die." The emperor said, "What do you want to say?" Dong Xuan said, "Your Majesty's holy virtues have restored the country's prosperity, but you indulge your domestic slaves and kill good people. How will you govern the world? ? I don’t need to be beaten with a whip, please let me commit suicide.” He hit his head on the pillar and his face was covered with blood. The emperor ordered the eunuchs to hold Dong Xuan hostage and ask him to kowtow to the princess to apologize, but Dong Xuan refused to obey. The eunuch forced Dong Xuan to kowtow, but Dong Xuan put his hands on the ground and refused to bow his head. The princess said: "When Uncle Wen was an ordinary person, he hid fugitive criminals secretly, and the officials did not dare to come and arrest him. Now that he is the emperor, his power cannot make a Luoyang order obey his orders?" The emperor smiled and said: "The emperor is different from ordinary people. Different." So he made Dong Xuan a strong commander, released him, and gave him 300,000 yuan. Dong Xuan gave all the money to subordinate officials. From then on, Dong Xuan began to fight against the powerful and bully forces, and everyone was shocked and frightened. The people in the capital called him Crouching Tiger and praised him by saying: "Dong Shaoping served as the order of Luoyang, and the drum of injustice no longer sounded." Dong Xuan served as the order of Luoyang for 5 years and died in office at the age of 74. The emperor sent envoys to his home to express condolences. , I saw the body covered with coarse quilts, and my wife and children looked at each other and cried. The family only has a few sticks of barley and a broken car. Emperor Guangwu said sadly: "Dong Xuan was honest and upright. I didn't know it until he died!" Therefore, he was posthumously awarded the official title Ai Shou and was buried according to the etiquette of a doctor. He also worshiped his son as a doctor, and later became the prime minister of Qi.
