Idiom story
Zhao Guanghan was a famous official in the Western Han Dynasty. At first, he was a county magistrate. Later, he was promoted repeatedly by the emperor because of his incorruptness. Finally, he became Jing Zhaoyin, the chief executive of the capital at that time. The capital of Han Dynasty was Chang'an. Zhao Guanghan was Jing Zhaoyin, the highest leader of Chang'an. There was a Xinfeng County in the districts and counties under Chang'an City, and the magistrate at that time was Du Jian. Du Jian's social relations were very complicated. He not only had contacts with many powerful people in the imperial court, but also had a little friendship with various evil forces in the society. It is conceivable that such a person is naturally a corrupt official. in the past, the emperor built his own mausoleum before he died, and so did emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, whose mausoleum was called Zhaoling. The official in charge of the construction of Zhaoling is Du Jian. He took the opportunity to embezzle a lot of money. Some people once reported this to Zhao Guanghan, and Zhao Guanghan warned him that he should be clean and honest and not be corrupt. Although Du Jian repeatedly promised, he didn't take it seriously. Later, after the death of emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he was buried in the mausoleum of Zhao, and Du Jian was the official guarding the mausoleum. As a result, Du Jian did a lot of illegal things, such as embezzlement, bribery, shielding bad things, and even involving homicide cases. Zhao Guanghan was very angry, so he caught Du Jian in prison, investigated his crime and prepared to punish him. But as soon as Du Jian was in prison, trouble came. At this time, many of his former relationships came to him, and many senior officials even came to exonerate him. Seeing that the problem was serious, Zhao Guanghan seized on the case and killed Du Jian as soon as possible. Since then, when Zhao Guanghan employed people, he did not use officials such as Du Jian, but preferred to promote his young children. In his opinion, these people are young and serious, and their work is very popular. They are much better than the old officials who are infected with unhealthy tendencies.
