Story:
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Fu Xian, who served as Imperial Censor and Scribe Colonel, was known for his integrity and selflessness.
As an official, he detested evil as if it were his personal enemy.
One year, a natural disaster led to a severe famine, causing countless people to be displaced, starve, and freeze to death.
Emperor Hui of Jin, however, incredibly blamed the people for not eating meat porridge.
Fu Xian explained the reality, strongly admonishing the court to curb extravagance and waste, and to provide relief to the disaster victims.
