" Dong Chun said: "I am a minister, with no talent, and I have received too many rewards and promotions. The first emperor was careful, and he loved me, love my dog, and your majesty re-hired me as a general. I want to do my best to repay my country. As for the previous visits to the King of Qi, it was only because the first emperor held Prince Yuan De (Yang Zhao) and the King of Qi in his lap and said to the minister,' You should take good care of these two children and don't forget my words.' After I served the imperial edict, I went in and out of King Mi of Qi, and I went to visit the King of Qi after class every time. I really dare not forget what my late emperor said. At that time, your majesty was also serving the late emperor. Emperor Yang said with emotion: "This is true. "So I let him go. A few days later, it was released to Wenshan Prefecture.

Seeing the emperor Yang-ti was very angry. Officials catered to the emperor and sentenced Dong Chun to death. Dong Chun was actually killed by the law.
