They even sent people to sow discord, and there were many impeachments against Zhong Fu in the court. To protect Zhong Fu, I ordered him to retreat to his fiefdom in Luoyi. Later, to ensure he wouldn't affect me, he indeed had thoughts of suicide, so I deliberately spread the rumor that he was granted death."
