文帝踐阼，以柔為治書侍御史，賜爵關內侯，轉加治書執法。民間數有誹謗妖言，帝疾之，有妖言輒殺，而賞告者。柔上疏曰：「今妖言者必戮，告之者輒賞。旣使過誤無反善之路，又將開凶狡之羣相誣罔之漸，誠非所以息姧省訟，緝熈治道也。昔周公作誥，稱殷之祖宗，咸不顧小人之怨。在漢太宗，亦除妖言誹謗之令。臣愚以為宜除妖謗賞告之法，以隆天父養物之仁。」帝不即從，而相誣告者滋甚。帝乃下詔：「敢以誹謗相告者，以所告者罪罪之。」於是遂絕。校事劉慈等，自黃初初數年之閒，舉吏民姧罪以萬數，柔皆請懲虛實；其餘小小挂法者，不過罰金。四年，遷為廷尉。

Cao Wei
Their side
Cao Wei was a regime whose state name was “Wei” during the Three Kingdoms period. In the late Eastern Han, Cao Cao gradually gained control of the court, and was successively enfeoffed as Duke of Wei and King of Wei, laying the foundations for the Cao clan’s regime. In the twenty-fifth year of Jian’an (220), Cao Pi succeeded to the title of King of Wei, accepted Emperor Xian of Han’s abdication, and ascended the throne as emperor. He adopted the reign title Huangchu and established the state name Great Wei; Emperor Xian of Han was enfeoffed as Duke of Shanyang. Cao Rui succeeded Cao Pi; as Cao Rui had no sons, he adopted Cao Fang as his heir. When Cao Fang ascended the throne, the Grand General Cao Shuang and Grand Commandant Sima Yi assisted in governing. Cao Fang was later deposed, and Cao Mao was welcomed to the throne; after Cao Mao’s death, Cao Huan succeeded him. The Cao Wei throne was successively held by Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Cao Fang, Cao Mao, and Cao Huan.
