In the reignof Emperor the Second of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C.), the prime minister Zhao Gao, obsessedwith ambitions, was planning to usurpsmile on Zhao Gao's face and his two rolling eyes which were gazing at each of them, they suddenly understood his evil intentions.    Some of the ministers who were timid and yet had a sense of right eousness did not dare to say anything, because to tell lies would make their conscience uneasy and to tell the truth would mean that they would be persecutedby Zhao Gao later. Some ministers with a sense of justice persisted that it was a stag and not a horse. There were still some craftyand fawningministers who followed Zhao Gao closely in ordinary times. They immediately voiced their support to Zhao Gao, saying to the emperor:"This really in a horse that covers a thousand li a day."    After the event, Zhao Gao punished by various means those ministers with a sense of justice who were not obedient to him, even with whole families of some of those ministers executed.    This story appears in "The Life of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" in The Historical Records written by Sima Qian. From this story people have derivedthe set phrase "calling a stag a horse" to mean deliberatelymisrepresenting some thing and misleading the public.
