Idiom story

In the Han Dynasty, Shi Dan, the teacher of emperor AI of the Han Dynasty, was honest and upright, which won the emperor's trust. He thought that the time was not ripe for the reform of the currency system. The weak country and the poor people would cause a vicious circle. Because he had offended empress dowager Ding and Empress Dowager Fu, he was considered not to support the reform. Shen Xian pleaded for him, saying that Shi Dan was not thoughtful, but should not be punished.
