Idiom story
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Yang Pei, whose name was kongqu. When Cao Cao passed Xinzheng, the army was short of food. Yang Pei helped Cao Cao, so he was deeply loved by Cao Cao. After Cao Cao's assistant administration, Yang Pei was promoted to the order of changshe. No matter who broke the law, he was punished according to law and was praised by Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao went out on an expedition. He heard that the public order in Yecheng, the capital of the state, was too disorderly, so he issued an imperial edict to select a Yecheng order. The selection criteria were Yang Pei's courage and level. There was no suitable one to choose from, so Yang Pei was promoted to Yecheng Ling (then called Jing Zhaoyin). Before Yang Pei took office, Cao Cao summoned him and asked him how to govern Ye. Yang Pei replied: "I will do my best to publicize the law and discipline and make everyone abide by the law." After hearing this, Cao Cao was very happy and said to the people around him, "have you heard that? This is the one who makes people admire." Before Yang Pei officially took office, some powerful landlords and royal relatives heard that Yang Pei was coming to Yecheng, and they all told their children to be careful.
