It is good to have dialogues in essays or short sentences about the history of the Sui Dynasty.

On one occasion, Prime Minister Gao Jiong couldn't stand it any longer, so he led a group of ministers to the imperial court to repent, saying, "Your Majesty raised all the creatures in the world and devoted himself to eliminating the evils, but the people were ignorant and the criminals didn't stop, which made your punishment too heavy. It's all because we didn't do our duty as courtiers. Please let us resign and make way for talents. "

When Emperor Wendi of Sui heard that Gao Jiong and others were going to resign, he felt that the situation was a bit serious. He turned to ask the commander-in-chief Tian Yuan standing beside him, "Is my staff heavy?"

Tian Yuan felt that the emperor should be reminded to restrain himself, so he told the truth: "Your majesty's punishment rod is really heavy."

Emperor Wendi of Sui asked again, "Is there anything special about my staff?"

Tian Yuan gestured with his hand and said, "Your majesty's scepter is as thick as a fist, and it is much larger than ordinary scepters. It is equivalent to the usual staff playing hundreds of times before hitting people, so people are often killed. "

Emperor Wendi was very unhappy, but he was not angry because Gao Jiong and others advised him to resign, so he reluctantly ordered the big stick in the temple to be removed, and those who were punished again were handed over to the relevant departments for handling.
