Some people reported to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty that when they saw that there was Emperor Qi in the prison, Emperor Wu ordered to kill all the prisoners in the prison. Bingji closed the door of the prison and prohibited those who carried out Emperor Wu's order from entering. Liu Xun was saved. The executor went back to report to Emperor Wu, who also repented at this time, withdrew the order, and pardoned all the prisoners in the prison.
