These two stories, one of Yuandi of the Han and the other on Xuanzong of the Tang, are "mirror" plays, one obviously written against the other.
Both were written to portray the emperor as a sympathetic figure and both explore the relationship between rulership and passion.
While passion is denied neither emperor, the moral drawn from the two plays is that passion must be contained within a personal realm, a niche carved out of the public life where human desire can be exercised within a private and protected ambit (HGQ).

 Former Han Legal Philosophy and the Gongyang
I hope to be able to show that they had a consistent and in some respects distinctive legal philosophy, one that backed up the authority of the classics with cosmological theory to shift the responsibility for disorder from the people to their ruler.
In his description of the evils of Qin, the preceding dynasty, whose success in unifying China under Legalist rule had been followed by swift and spectacular collapse, the adoption and the misuse of punishment are mentioned in the same breath, implying that reliance on coercion could not be combined with fairness (13).
It was written into Han law very early in the dynasty (49) and seems to have found its chief theoretical support among Shangshu (Book of Documents) scholars, who were probably one of the first groups within the Confucian school to come to terms with the Five Forces (50).
