Idiom story

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a man named Yizong. His sister Yi is a doctor. Because she cured the Empress Dowager's illness, the Empress Dowager doted on her, and Yizong was appointed by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He first served as a county magistrate in Shangdang County, and then was promoted to Chang'an County Magistrate. During his tenure, he was able to act in accordance with the law, and was not afraid to offend powerful people. The local public security has greatly changed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he was very talented, so he was transferred to be the commander of Hanoi County, and later promoted to the prefect of Nanyang. At that time, in Nanyang City, there lived a captain named Ning Cheng who was in charge of customs. He was very cruel and used his power to bully. The people were afraid of him, even the officials who entered and left the customs did not dare to offend him. It is said that making Ning Cheng an official is like giving a group of sheep to the wolf. When Ning Cheng heard that Yi Zong was coming to Nanyang to be the prefect, he was a little uneasy. On the day when Yizong took office, he led his family to stand respectfully by the roadside to welcome Yizong. Yi Zong knows the purpose of Ning Cheng's doing this and ignores him. As soon as he took office, Yizong sent people to investigate Ningcheng's family. If anyone was found guilty, he killed them all. In the end, Ningcheng was also convicted. As a result, the local well-known tycoons Kong and Bao fled Nanyang because of their bad deeds. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed the governor of Dingxiang (in present-day Shanxi Province), and the public order in this area was very chaotic at that time. As soon as Yi Zong arrived in Dingxiang, he re sentenced more than 200 prisoners who were convicted of felony and misdemeanor to death. At the same time, he arrested more than 200 family members who came to the prison to visit the prisoners privately, saying that they wanted to exonerate the prisoners from their crimes and sentenced them to death together. More than 400 people were killed that day. Although it wasn't cold that day, people living in the area shuddered when they heard the news. Yi Zong's law enforcement is severe, but there is also the problem of wanton killing. Therefore, in Sima Qian's historical records, Yi Zong is classified as a cruel official. Wang Duo of the Ming Dynasty wrote "selected works of the mountain garden · painting of the snow bamboo by pulling Jiang yaozhang": "the pen is full of emotion, and Yuan Shiyu (yuan kelizi) of Suiyang has given it to him for 20 years.
