D10-"Exceptions to Overstepping Authority" in Workplace Rules: Ji An's Wisdom and Enlightenment

In politics and the workplace, "overstepping authority means death" seems to be a widely followed iron rule, but there are special exceptions in history. The case of Ji An recorded in "Zizhi Tongjian" shows us under what conditions, overstepping authority is not only not punished, but also won the approval of senior officials.

1. Background of the incident and Ji An's overstepping authority
A fire broke out in Henei County, and the fire spread and burned many houses. Emperor Wu of Han sent Ji An to inspect. On the way back, Ji An reported that although the fire caused some losses, it was not worth worrying about. When he passed by Henan County, he found that the local poor suffered from floods and droughts, and the situation was serious, and even fathers and sons were cannibalistic. Therefore, Ji An, without asking for permission, arbitrarily ordered the distribution of grain stored in Henan official warehouses to help the poor, and expressed his willingness to accept the punishment for pretending to be the emperor's order.
