Idiom story

Qiao Xuan was a man of resolute disposition and hatred of evil in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Qiao Xuan served as the minister. At that time, Taizhong doctor Gai Sheng relied on his personal relationship with the spirit emperor, and wantonly accepted bribes and plundered people's wealth. Qiao Xuan then played Hanling emperor, asked to be removed from the post of Gai Sheng, and copied his property. However, instead of investigating gaisheng, Lingdi promoted gaisheng. Qiao Xuan is very angry, so he resigns and goes back to his hometown on the ground of illness. When Qiao Xuan was working in Beijing, one day his 10-year-old son was playing at home. Three robbers hijacked the child and wanted to use it to hold the property of Qiaoxuan. When the news got out, Yang Qiu, the school captain, and Yin and Luoyang county magistrate immediately surrounded Qiao Xuan's home, but they didn't dare to attack. They were afraid that if the robbers were forced, they would hurt their children. Qiao Xuan yelled: "robbers are so rampant, do you want to connive at their crimes for my children?" and urged Yang Qiu and others to attack. As a result, all the robbers were captured, but his youngest son died. His resolute and courageous spirit is praised by people. Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong wrote "the xuanbei of Taiwei bridge" for him, praising his "indomitable" heroism.
