帝幸式乾殿，召公卿入，使黃門令董猛乙太子書及青紙詔曰：「遹書如此，今賜死。」 The emperor visited Shi-Qian Hall, summoned dukes and ministers, and had Yellow Gate Chief Dong Meng display the crown prince's script with an edict on blue paper: "Yu has written thus—now sentence him to death."

賈后使董猛矯以長廣公主辭白帝曰：「事宜速決，而群臣各有不同，若有不從詔，宜以軍法從事。」 Empress Jia had Dong Meng falsely relay Princess Changguang's words to the emperor: "Matters must be settled quickly while ministers disagree—whoever disobeys the edict should face military law."
