顯袓聞訢罪狀，檻車徵訢，拷劾抵罪。 When Emperor Xianzu learned of Xin's crimes, he had Xin brought to court in a prisoner cart and interrogated under torture until his guilt was established.

訢既寵於顯袓，參決軍國大議，兼典選舉，權傾內外，百僚莫不曲節以事之。 Once favored by Emperor Xianzu, Xin joined in deciding the great affairs of state and army, also controlled appointments, and his power dominated court and realm alike. No official failed to bow and scrape in serving him.

六月，顯袓崩。 In the sixth month Emperor Xianzu died.
