Idiom story

During the Tang Dynasty, when the provincial government was in power for a while, they took control of the emperor and ran wild in the sea. Tang Wenzong wanted to get rid of this situation, and issued an imperial edict to let upright people go up to sparing the defects of debating politics, so as to employ them according to their abilities. Liu benshangshu, a Jinshi in Youzhou, said that the reason why the rich and crafty officials dare not to abide by the law is that there are many kinds of laws, resulting in more than one order.
