During the reign of Qin Shihuang, two or more people could not discuss. What is an idiom?

Two or more people can't just say, the idiom is "watch the road", but this allusion is not from the Qin Shihuang period, but from the Zhou Liwang period.

"Historical Records of Zhou Benji": "Thirty-four years, Wang Yiyan, the Chinese people dare not speak, and the Tao is based on the eye."

Story: One of the most famous stories in history, the dissatisfaction of Zhou Liwang people is that libel is forbidden in Zhou Liwang. Zhou Liwang was tyrannical in power, and at the instigation of his favorite minister Rong, he changed the original system of the Zhou Dynasty, and changed the industries that many civilians depended on for their livelihood to the royal family. For a time, people's livelihood was boiling. (Mu Gong Hu, the descendant of Zhao Kanggong, assisted the royal family from generation to generation, and the fief was called. Qishan County, Shaanxi Province) said to Zhou Liwang: The people can't stand it. Li Wang refused to listen to persuasion and used spies to deal with the people. He sent people to Weiguo (Qixian County, Henan Province) and invited many wizards to patrol the streets of Haojing (west of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province) to eavesdrop on people's conversations. Anyone they accused of rebellion or slander was imprisoned and executed. In this way, the whole country will no longer dare to comment on state affairs, that is, meet each other late and don't talk nonsense, but follow the rules. Zhou Liwang said happily to Zhao Gong: I can unify my thoughts, and no one dares to talk nonsense. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Gong said a sentence that is often quoted by later generations: "You are forcibly sealing the mouths of ordinary people. Where are ordinary people who really don't have their own ideas? " . You know, defending the mouth of the people is better than defending Sichuan. When a river collapses, many people will be hurt, and so will ordinary people! "Of course, Zhou Liwang won't listen to these words, but people still dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Three years later (842 BC), the common people finally couldn't bear it, and spontaneously United to attack the palace and exiled the tyrant to a place called Bi (now Shanxi). This incident was called "Chinese riots".

Killing innocent people is more serious. The word "Li" in posthumous title sums up his history of killing people and stopping slander.
