三年，稚珪疾，東昏屏除，以牀轝走，因此疾甚，遂卒。 In the third year Zhigui fell ill; Emperor Donghun had him expelled and he fled in a carrying litter; because of this his illness grew severe and he died.

衆以朝廷昏亂，爲之寒心，繪終不受，東昏改用張欣泰。 Everyone, seeing the court benighted and chaotic, feared for him, but Hui in the end refused; Emperor Donghun then appointed Zhang Xintai instead.

東昏殞，城內遣繪及國子博士范雲等送首詣梁王於石頭，轉大司馬從事中郎。 After Donghun perished, those within the city sent Hui and National University erudite Fan Yun and others to deliver the head to the Prince of Liang at Stone Fortress; Hui was transferred to attendant of the grand marshal.
