御史董元醇疏請兩宮皇太后垂簾聽政，載垣、端華、肅順等持不可，翰附之，抗言甚力，遂黜元醇議。 Censor Dong Yuanchun asked that the two empress dowagers rule from behind a screen; Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun, and their party objected; Han sided with them and argued fiercely, and Dong's proposal was set aside.

既而載垣等以竊奪政柄被罪，翰連坐，議革職戍新疆，詔原之，褫職，免其發遣。 When Zaiyuan and the others fell for usurping power, Han was implicated and sentenced to dismissal and banishment to Xinjiang; an edict pardoned him—he lost office but was spared exile.
