Historical allusions

In the winter and November of the second year of emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty (706 AD), Princess Taiping went to Yongzhou for a visit. She fell in love with a plate of water mill in the local temple. Without the consent of the temple monk, she ordered her followers to prepare to transport it to the capital by force and take it as their own. Forced by the power of Princess Taiping, the temple monk did not dare to stop him face to face, and immediately told Yongzhou Si Hu Li Yuanchang. Si Hu was a small official even smaller than the seven grade sesame official. However, he was not afraid of power, just and upright, and accepted the case immediately. After investigation, the mill is the legal property of the temple, and Princess Taiping has no right to occupy it. Then the water mill was awarded to the monk of the temple. This decision scared Dou huaizhen, the leader of Li Yuanzhen and Yongzhou governor who always attached himself to the powerful. Princess Taiping is not only the daughter of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian, but also the sister of emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty. She set up the government and set up the government. Dou huaizhen was afraid of flattering. How dare she let her subordinates offend her? He immediately ordered Li Yuanzhen to change the sentence of Shuimo to Princess Taiping. Li Yuanzhen was extremely indignant at this kind of bullying and flattering. Without saying a word, he immediately wrote in the blank of the original judgment that "the south mountain can be moved, but the judgment has not been changed", firmly maintaining the original judgment. Later generations gradually condensed these eight words into "enforcing the law like a mountain". Qingtian Guanglin said: to enforce the law like a mountain, we should aim at fairness and justice. We should not discriminate between good and evil because of our own selfish desires and hatred. We can't overthrow the reform and opening-up with the power to gain fame and power. Because of their reform and opening up, you have to establish feudal ideology.
