董腾 / Dong Teng (late Han)

董腾 appears in Hanji 903 as a Yellow Gate figure whose wide contacts with 刘亏 and 郑萨 become politically dangerous. The source does not present Dong as the primary accuser or defendant; instead, he functions as part of the social network that 王甫 can reinterpret after Liu refuses payment.

Dong’s role is important because it shows how court access and private relationship webs can become state-security evidence. In Wang Fu’s hands, association with a resentful imperial kinsman helps make the forged treason story plausible to 汉灵帝.

Connections

• 刘亏 / Liu Kui (Bohai king) - imperial kinsman whose contacts with Dong feed the accusation.
• 郑萨 / Zheng Sa (late Han) - monitored alongside Dong in Wang Fu’s case construction.
• 王甫 / Wang Fu (late Han) - uses the network as accusation material.
• Treason Accusation Trap / 谋反指控陷阱 and Palace Access Monopoly / 宫廷接触垄断 - concepts that frame Dong’s social connections as political vulnerability.
