元叉之廢靈太后也，相州刺史、中山王熙起兵於鄴。 When Yuan Cha deposed Empress Dowager Ling, Prince Xi of Zhongshan, who was Inspector of Xiangzhou, raised an army at Ye.

熙敗，以同為持節、兼黃門侍郎、慰勞使，乃就州刑熙。 After Xi's defeat, Tong was appointed Bearer of Credentials and concurrent Yellow Gate Attendant as a comforting envoy; he executed Xi in the province.

同善事在位，為叉所親，戮熙之日，深窮黨與，以希叉旨，論者非之。 Tong knew how to please those in power and was favored by Cha; on the day Xi was killed he pursued associates relentlessly to win Cha's approval, and critics condemned him for it.
