东窗事发

Folklore, in order to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, Qin Hui, the treacherous minister of the Song Dynasty, conspired at home with his wife Wang and prepared to kill the national hero Yue Fei .

Then Qin Chu died, and soon his son also died. The Wang family invited Taoist priests to call upon their husband and son.

While doing rituals, the Taoist priest saw her son and husband wearing shackles, suffering in hell. Qin Hui also asked the Taoist priest to bring a message to Wang Clan, saying: The Dongchuang incident has happened! (The conspiracy to frame Yue Fei under the east window was revealed).

This idiom is a metaphor for a conspiracy to be revealed and a crime to happen.

It was activated after going out of Dongshan. The original metaphor came out again after living in seclusion. Many metaphors now start after losing power.

Xie An resigned and lived in Dongshan in seclusion until he was in his forties. His younger brother Xie Wan was appointed as a general in the West and held the power of the military in various places, but his reputation was not as good as Xie Angao, and was later deposed. Therefore Xie An began to have the intention of becoming an official.

General Huan Wen of Zhengxi was Sima. When he set off from Xinting, the ministers of the imperial government came to say farewell. Zhong Cheng Gaosong joked: "You have repeatedly violated the will of the imperial court and lived in Dongshan. Everyone often said to each other, Shi (Xie An's word) refuses to be an official, what can the common people do! Now how will the common people treat you!" Xie An was ashamed of hearing this.

Huan Wen was even more happy to see him, talking about his life, and didn't feel tired all day.
