暹前後表彈尚書令司馬子如及尚書元羨、雍州刺史慕容獻，又彈太師咸陽王坦、幷州刺史可朱渾道元，罪狀極筆，並免官。 Xian successively memorialized and impeached Minister of Works Sima Ziru, the minister Yuan Xian, and Administrator of Yong province Murong Xian, and also impeached Grand Tutor Prince of Xianyang Tan and inspector of Bing province Kezhuhun Daoyuan—the charges written to the utmost; all were removed from office.

咸陽王、司馬令並是吾對門布衣之舊，尊貴親昵，無過二人，同時獲罪，吾不能救，諸君其慎之。」 Prince of Xianyang and Minister Sima were both my old companions of common cloth opposite the gate, honored and intimate beyond all others; at the same time they incurred guilt—I could not save them; gentlemen, be wary."

六日，要魏太傅咸陽王坦等總集，引人北宮，留于東齋，受禪後，乃放還宅。 On the sixth day he required Wei grand tutor Prince of Xianyang Tan and the rest to assemble, brought them into the Northern Palace, and kept them in the eastern study — only after the abdication were they released to their homes.
