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.
