In the Han Dynasty, Gong Sui was appointed as the prefect of Bohai Sea. The former officials ignored the life and death of the common people and tried their best to squeeze them. Trapped in cold and hunger, local residents revolted. Gong then wrote to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, describing the people's uprising as: "the people were trapped in hunger and cold, but the officials were not compassionate, so his Majesty's only son stole his Majesty's soldiers from the middle ear of Huangchi." Therefore, appeasement measures were taken.
