Story:
In the Han Dynasty, Yang Zhen went to Donglai as a satrap and passed by Changyi, the magistrate of Changyi, which he had recommended before. Wang Mi brought ten catties of gold to Yang Zhen in the evening. Yang Zhen was very angry and said, "I know you, but you don't know me."
Wang Mi said: "It's getting dark, and no one knows." Yang Zhen said, "Heaven knows, earth knows, I know, and you know. How can you say that no one knows? " Therefore, later generations called it "the four knowledge satrap". The purpose of this sentence is to refuse to accept gifts.
