38 CE

The reign of Emperor Guangwu over the unified empire is marked by thriftiness, efficiency, and laxity of laws.

For example, in 38, his official Liang Tong submits a petition to restore the criminal laws of late Western Han Dynasty—which were far more severe.

After discussion with other officials, Emperor Guangwu tables Liang's suggestion; however, it is he who begins to order that servants in the inner palace must be eunuchs.
