Origin and Story of 无所畏忌
During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Shi Xian, the Imperial Secretariat Supervisor, relying on the emperor's trust, acted arbitrarily, wielded power unscrupulously, and behaved without any fear or restraint. All officials were terrified of him; even Prime Minister Kuang Heng and Grandee Censor Zhang Tan flattered him, not daring to express their anger.
After Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, Shi Xian was demoted to Grand Coachman. Only then did Wang Zun, the Colonel-Director of Retainers, dare to submit a memorial criticizing Kuang Heng and others for their failure to uphold justice.
