All ministers want to follow the master's heart in order to take advantage of their relatives. Based on the goodness of the Lord, I was praised for it; God hates something, so I destroy it. Generally speaking, this is also true if you choose the same person, but it is not true if you choose different people. Those who are respected by today's people are also ministers and people's actions, which is called taking the same; Those who are destroyed by others are also wronged by others. It's called sharing. It is unheard of for a husband to choose between union and opposition. The reason why this minister won trust and happiness is also. Honey, I must use my good luck to win my reputation. Those ministers who advance and retreat in moderation must have no defensive skills and no experience in judgment, but they will certainly believe what I said today. The lucky minister had to trick his master into a private person. Therefore, the Lord will be above, and the minister will be above. This is called the minister of the good Lord.
State-owned ministers who are good at governing are not allowed to use their intelligence to go to Chen Qizhong, and officials who are officials are not allowed to serve the law and make contributions. Why is it clear? If my husband is in Amway, he will do it, and the victim will go. This person has a good relationship. I have done my duty as a minister, and I have done my best in Chen Zhong. He was trapped in a poor family, and his father and son suffered greatly. A grandfather who benefits others and harms others, and a minister of wealth and goods who harms others and benefits others, respect the wealth of the family and kill each other: how can a man go to Amway to harm others? If you run the country too much, you have no desire to go up, and obviously you can't get it. Therefore, if you know loyalty, you can't be Amway. You must say, "I am still ignorant and want to know the feelings of black and white." If we talk about things by Tao, instead of seeking wealth and seeking peace by things, it will be a voice that turns a deaf ear and wants to break the turbidity, the more so. "There can't be peace between the two, but I can't compare with last week, protecting the Lord and valuing others for personal gain?" This will disregard the master's righteousness. His officials know that Fang Zhengzhi can't get peace, and they will say, "I seek peace through honesty. If I want to be a Fiona Fang without rules, I will be few;" If you rely on obeying the law and not relying on cronies to run for safety, it is still scratching your head, and the more so! "They can't be peaceful. Can they be selfish and think of others without abolishing the law? " This will disregard your majesty's laws. So there are many people who value self-interest, and few people use the law to serve the monarch. It is because the Lord is above and the minister is below. So did Tian Cheng's killing Jane Palace.
A capable person is also a minister, and his words are effective. He understands the main law and is trapped in the next place to respect the main country. If the degree is effective before, then rewards and punishments will be used afterwards. People are honest and clear about the skills of saints, but they are not careful about what the world says. They judge right and wrong according to name and fact, and judge words because of experience. Therefore, officials close to Xi know that fraud will not bring peace, and they must say, "I am not traveling privately, I am trying my best to be a victim." On the contrary, I tried to get peace by comparing my aspect with my week, and I still carried a heavy burden. Inevitably, I will live in an unpredictable abyss. " The official of a hundred officials, knowing that there is no peace because of interests, will say, "I don't respect the law with honesty, but pervert the law with corruption for personal gain." It is inevitable that I will survive at the top of the mountain and fall under the steep valley. " If you are well-informed, you can confuse the Lord with empty words, but hundreds of officials dare to fish with greed? Therefore, I can get Chen Qizhong without any disadvantage, and I can perform my duties without complaint. The reason why Guan Zhong ruled Qi was also related to the reason why he ruled.
From this point of view, the sage ruling the country also makes people have to love my way, not rely on others to love me. It is dangerous to rely on others to love me, and it is safe for others to rely on me. The husband, the monarch and the minister have no relatives of the same flesh and blood, and the path of integrity can benefit, and I try my best to serve the Lord; If the way of honesty can't be taken for granted, then I will settle it. The wise master knew this, so he set up a method to show it to the world. People-oriented, although not an instructor, not involved in evil, the country has been ruled. Man is the master. If you leave Lou, you are smart. If you leave Lou, you are wise. Don't let it count. When it's clear, you'll see less. It's not a bad trick. Not because of its potential, but because of its ears, few people hear it, so don't bully it. Those who know the Lord let the world see for itself and let the world listen for itself. So, being in the deep palace shines all over the world, and the world can cover up those who can bully the weak and fear the hard, so what? The way of chaos is useless, and the trend of wisdom is also prosperous. Therefore, those who are good at taking advantage of the situation are safe, and they do not know that the country is in danger because of the situation. In the custom of ancient Qin dynasty, the reason why the monarch and the minister abolished the law and served privately was based on the weakness of the country's soldiers and the inferiority of the Lord. Shang Jun said that Qin Xiaogong was fair and clear by reforming laws and changing customs, and rewarded him for making profits at the end of his life. At this time, Qin people can avoid the crime of learning the old customs, and they can be respected for doing nothing, so they lightly violate the new law. Therefore, those who commit crimes will be severely punished, and those who tell them will be rewarded and trusted. Therefore, it is inevitable that the people will be punished and complain. If you don't listen to filial piety, you will obey the Shang Jun Law. Everyone knows that crimes will be punished, but there are many people who sue for personal gain, so people don't commit crimes, and their punishment is just that. It is based on the rule of the country and the strength of soldiers, with vast land and respect. The reason for this is that the punishment for concealing the crime is heavy and the reward for reporting is also thick. This also makes the world have to see and listen in its own way. The spell of supreme sovereignty is clear, but scholars all know it.
What's more, I know nothing about chaos. If I want to rule the world in chaos, I have to memorize more ancient books. Wisdom is not enough to avoid the trap in the well, nor is it a capable person. Those who listen to his words are in danger, and those who use his tricks are in chaos. This is also the biggest fool and the biggest victim. All capable people have the title of talking, and the reality is gone. This husband has the same name, but there are differences. A fool all his life is better than a capable man, and an ant is better than a grave, which is far from enough. Sages, on the other hand, judge what is wrong and observe the feeling of controlling chaos. Therefore, Chen's way of governing the country based on clear laws and heavy penalties will save the people's chaos and eliminate the disasters in the world, so that the strong will not be weak, the people will not be violent and widowed, the young will grow up, the frontier will not invade, the ministers will have relatives, the father and son will protect each other, and there is no fear of death. This is also a great contribution. Fools don't know, but they feel very violent. Fools are determined to cure it, hate it, hate danger and like it. How did you know? Those who severely punish their husbands are also evil for the people and the reason for governing the country; Those who pity the people and lightly punish them are loved by the people and endangered by the country. If a saint is French, he will go against the world and conform to morality. The knower is synonymous with different customs; Knowing this is different from righteousness and the same as custom. There are few people who know in the world, so there is righteousness.
Being in the wrong position, being slandered by public opinion and submerged in the words of this world, it is not difficult to be a son of heaven who is strict with himself and seek peace! The wise man died and did not appear in the world. Chu Zhuangwang's younger brother Chun has a concubine, and Chun's wife Zi Jia. I want your husband to abandon his wife. I cried because I hurt him. I said, "I am very lucky to be your concubine. Although, Mrs. Shi is not a gentleman and Mrs. Shi is not a lady. Death corrupts, and the strength is not enough to adapt to the two masters, which is not suitable. Instead of what his wife died, if he died, he wouldn't give a gift. " If I am lucky enough to be around you again, I hope you will abide by it and don't make anyone laugh. "Because you believe my concubine's deception, you abandoned your wife. Jade wanted to kill Jia, and made her son a queen. Tears welled up in her face because of her clothes. She said, "Jade has been lucky for a long time, but Jia didn't know it, and now she wants to fight hard. ""if I argue with you, I will tear off my clothes, and this son will be unfilial again! "You are angry, but you killed Jia. Therefore, the wife cheated and gave up her concubine's surplus, and her son died here. In truth, father and son love children, but they can still be destroyed and hurt; The relationship between the monarch and the minister is not a father-son relationship, and the ruin of the minister is not the mouth of the concubine. Why blame the slaughter of the husband and the virtuous! The reason why it split its car in Qin, and the reason why Wuqi split its branches in Chu. The ministers of mortals, those who are guilty, do not want to punish them, and those who are unsuccessful want to be respected. While the sage governs the country, the reward will not add reactive power, and the punishment will be imposed on the guilty. But there are people who are good at art, who are harmed by the princes and can't listen to the master.
Scholars all over the world say that man is the master, not that "the emperor is relied on to make the princes", but that "different people have different opinions, and the wise have different opinions!" In the name of benevolence and righteousness, the world's masters are beautiful, but they don't look at it. It is based on the death of a big country and the inferiority of a small country. Why is it clear? Giving to the poor is the so-called benevolence and righteousness in this world; Those who pity the people and can't bear to punish them are the so-called love in this world. If the husband gives in to poverty, those who fail will be rewarded; If you don't have the heart to punish, there will be more than one person. Those who are rewarded for their useless work in the state are not beheaded for revenge in foreign affairs, nor are they eager to work hard in the fields. They all want to sell money, be rich, be selfish, and establish a reputation, so as to gain the respect of officials and raise their salaries and keep clean. Therefore, the more private ministers there are, the more successful the disciples will be, and they will never die! Those who are tortured by their husbands are feared by the people; Heavy penalties are also harmful to the people. Therefore, the sage Chen Qi did not dare to forbid the evil and stand against it, which was unbearable based on national security. In my opinion, it is not enough to have benevolence and righteousness, and severe punishment can govern the country. There is no strategic power, it is prepared for the title. Although Zhao Fu can't take a horse; The law is disorganized, and the ink is at the end of the rope. Although Wang Er can't make a circle; If there is no majesty, the law of reward and punishment, Shun can't be treated. In this world, the Lord is more lenient than punishment, and the Lord is stricter than punishment. The Lord loves you, but he can't do much to bully you. Therefore, for those who focus on goodness, we should use interest rewards to persuade them, so that the people can be rewarded with merit, not benevolence; It is forbidden to impose harsh laws, so that people will be punished for their crimes, rather than being exempted from love. Therefore, those who don't work hard have no hope, and those who are guilty are unfortunate. If you believe that rhinoceros is a good horse, you can make the mistake of fighting on land; If you take a boat safely and take advantage of the situation, you can avoid the difficulties of rivers; Fuck the number of spells, hell to pay, to make a masterpiece. There are magical rewards and punishments for governing the country, just as there are rhinoceros carts and good horses on land and canoes on water, those who take them will succeed. Yi Yin gets it, soup is king; Guan Zhong got it, and Pakistan; Shang Jun got it, Qin Yiqiang. These three people are all masters of the Ming dynasty, and they look at the number of strong governance, not relying on secular words; Properly understand the will of the Lord, there will be people directly wearing cloth, which will be where Qing Xiang is; Being in the position of governing the country has the fact of respecting the Lord and the land: this is called an expensive minister. Tang Yiyin, taking the land of a hundred miles as the emperor; Duke Huan got Guan Zhong, became the five tyrants on his own, combined with the weather and conquered the world; Filial piety led to the Shang monarch, with a vast territory and a strong army. Therefore, there are loyal ministers, invincible countries from abroad, and chaotic ministers from home. Chang 'an is famous in the world. The so-called loyal minister also. If Yurang is a virtuous minister, it can't be said that the master made it clear that the degree of the magic weapon was to avoid disaster, nor could he lead the people to secure the world. When Xiangzi murdered Zhi Bo, Jade Rang deserved it. He described it as Zhi Bo's revenge on Xiangzi. Yes, although there is a residual punishment of killing the owner, it is not conducive to the last drop of water of Zhiboti. This is what I do, and the Lord thinks loyalty is high. In ancient times, there were Boyi, Shu Qi, and Wu Wang blessed the world, and they starved to death in Shouyang Mausoleum. If this minister is not afraid of heavy punishment, it is not conducive to reward, can not be punished, can not be rewarded, this is called useless minister. I took less, but God wanted more.
As the saying goes, "Be merciful to the king." So is this disrespectful remark. Although there were no empty proverbs in ancient times, they should be observed. This is the main statement of robbery and killing. People can't master their own ministers. Although they have been beautiful for many years, ministers will still have the upper hand, be good at sizing up the situation, and worry about their own selfish interests. Those who are afraid of their fathers and brothers, with the help of others, are forbidden to punish themselves, so killing the virtuous makes the young weak and abolishing righteousness makes injustice. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Annals records: "The king of Chu was hired by Zheng and did not leave the country. When he heard that Wang was ill, he turned against him. Because of illness, he killed the king with a crown tassel, so he stood on his own feet. His wife is a beautiful Yao, and Zhuang Gong knows it, and there are many rooms in Cui Shi. Different, Cui Zi's disciple Jia Ju led Cui Zi's disciples to attack the crowd. If you enter the room, please take it out of the country, Cui Zi is not allowed; Gong invited himself to the temple, but he didn't listen. The public is a line, exceeding the northern wall. " Jia Ju shot the crowd, got his share, and the crowd fell. Cui Zi's followers died in Ge Fang and made his brother Gong Jing. What I have seen so far: Li Dui used Ye Zhao, and his father starved to death within 100 days. He hung the temple beam with the teeth of Zhuo and the tendons of Wang and died in the past. Therefore, although Li is swollen and stubborn, he is better than the Spring and Autumn Period and is not too twisted. Compared with modern times, I haven't starved to death. Therefore, robbing and killing the king of death is more worrying and painful than starting work. From this point of view, although "The King of Mercy" is also acceptable.

All ministers want to obey the wishes of the monarch in order to gain a position of closeness and affection. Therefore, if you like it, * I will follow suit; What the monarch hates, * I will follow it. The perseverance of great mortals, mutual affirmation of the same views, and mutual accusation of different views. What courtiers praise now is exactly what the monarch affirmed, which is called "taking the same"; It is what the monarch hates that the courtiers are vilified. This is called "sharing". This shift is both consistent and opposite, and I have never heard of it. This is a way for courtiers to gain goodwill. * I can destroy or praise, promote or dismiss my minister by virtue of my favorable position. If the monarch didn't control his magic and didn't need to examine him through inspection, I would believe him now because he used to agree with himself. That's why my favorite can cheat the king and practice favoritism. Therefore, it is inevitable that the minister above will bully the monarch, and the minister below will hold the heavy power, which is called the minister who controls the monarch.
With the officials who control the monarch, officials can't play their wisdom and strength to serve the monarch, and officials at all levels can't pursue the legal system to establish political achievements. Why do you understand this? It is human nature to pursue safety and avoid danger and harm. Nowadays, people try their best to make contributions and devote their wisdom to loyalty and righteousness. As a result, they are embarrassed and poor, and both father and son are robbed; Those who seek profits to bully the monarch and bribe people to take refuge in powerful ministers have self-esteem and wealth, and both father and son benefit; How can people leave the safe and beneficial road and go to dangerous and harmful places? It is obvious that the monarch hopes that there will be no evil below and that officials will abide by laws and regulations. Therefore, knowing that faithfulness can't lead to peace and benefits, I will definitely say, "I am loyal to the king, and I keep making meritorious deeds to achieve peace." This is tantamount to the blind touching the elephant, black and white, and there is definitely no hope; If we follow the magic to learn talk.an excellent course, instead of just following the crowd and making peace for the monarch and the minister, it is equivalent to the deaf trying to distinguish between sound and sound, which is hopeless. Neither of these practices is safe. How can I not help the gang, cheat the monarch, and do something private to cater to the big official? " This will definitely disregard the interests of the monarch. Officials at all levels also know that integrity can't achieve peace. They will definitely say: "I seek peace by serving the monarch with integrity, just like trying to draw Fiona Fang without rules, there is no hope; If we seek peace by obeying the law, not forming political parties for personal gain, and performing our duties, it is as hopeless as scratching our heads with our feet. Neither of these practices can be peaceful. Can you cater to etiquette without breaking the law? " This will definitely ignore the monarch's decree. Therefore, there are more people who use power for personal gain to help etiquette, and fewer people serve the monarch according to the legal system. So the monarch was isolated in the world, and ministers formed best friends in the world, which is why Tian Cheng was able to kill Qi Huangong.
As courtiers, people who know magic can give their own ideas about magic and surrender the monarch's laws and regulations, so as to respect the monarch and stabilize the country. Therefore, you can put forward magical ideas and then implement the reward and punishment system. The monarch really understands the magic of saints, but he doesn't tolerate secular speech, so he will judge right and wrong according to name and reality, and distinguish speech according to verification. Therefore, a servant who knows that fraud can't achieve peace will definitely say, "If I don't get rid of my personal behavior and try my best to serve the monarch, but want to achieve peace through collusion and random criticism, it's like falling into an abyss and trying to escape. It must be hopeless." Officials at all levels also know that it is impossible to take advantage of power for personal gain. They will definitely say, "I don't want to enforce the law honestly, but use my greedy and dirty mind to violate the law and seek personal gain. It's like falling from the top of a mountain to the bottom of a deep valley, trying to escape. There is definitely no hope. " The stakes are so clear, how dare a recent minister deceive the monarch with lies, and how dare a hundred officials catch people with greed? Therefore, officials can show loyalty without bullying the monarch, and officials can be loyal to their duties without complaining. This is why Guan Zhong can make Qi great and Shang Yang powerful.
From this point of view, when a saint runs a country, there are ways to make people have to love me instead of relying on others to work for me out of love. It is dangerous to rely on others to work for me out of love. Dependence makes people have to work for me to be safe. There is no kinship between the monarch and his subjects. If you can benefit from an upright attitude, your subjects will try their best to serve the monarch. You can't seek peace with integrity. Your deputies will invade the monarch for selfish purposes. Mingjun understood this truth, so he set up reward and punishment measures to show the world, that's all. Therefore, although the monarch did not personally educate officials or search for evil with his own eyes, the country has been well governed. As a monarch, you don't have keen eyes like Li Lou or keen ears like Shi Kuang. Assuming that the eyes don't rely on the magic of the monarch, they can only understand it when they see it with their own eyes, so they see less; This is not a blind road. Assuming that the ear does not rely on the power of the monarch, it is not clear until you hear it with your own ears, and you hear less; This is not the way not to be cheated. As a wise monarch, if the world must see for me, it must listen for me. Therefore, in the deep palace, you can see all over the world, and all subjects in the world can't be bullied. Why? Because of the abolition of ignorant and chaotic methods, a situation of hearing and seeing has been formed. Therefore, if you are good at taking advantage of the trend, the country will be stable; If you don't know how to make use of the situation, the country will be in danger. According to the custom of the ancient Qin State, the monarch and ministers abolished the law and pursued self-interest, so the country was weak and mutinied, and the monarch was weak. Shang Yang advised Qin Xiaogong to reform and change customs, advocate fairness, distinguish rewards and punishments, restrain industry and commerce, and facilitate farming. At this time, the Thai people are used to the old custom of forgiving crimes and distinguishing reactive power, so it is easy to break the new law. Therefore, the punishment for those who violate the new law is severe and firm, and the reward for those who report evil is generous and trustworthy. Therefore, there is no one who does evil without being discovered, many people are punished and people are disgusted. I can hear everyone's blame every day. Qin Xiaogong ignored it and insisted on implementing Shang Yang's decree. Later, the common people knew that crimes must be punished, and there were many people who denounced private affairs, so the common people dared not commit crimes and there was no target for punishment. So the country is peaceful and powerful, the land is vast, and the monarch is noble. Good governance in Thailand is due to severe punishment for harboring criminals and generous rewards for reporting individuals. This is also a way to make everyone in the world become their own eyes and ears. The art of governing the country has been understood enough, but contemporary scholars don't understand it at all.
Moreover, those stupid scholars in contemporary times don't know the truth of chaos control, and they will only cite ancient books endlessly to disturb contemporary state governance; Their ingenuity is not enough to avoid the trap, but they attack those who insist on magic at will. Listening to his words is dangerous, and adopting his tricks is chaotic. They are extremely stupid and harmful people. They have the same reputation as those who insist on magic, but they are far from each other. This is an example with the same name but different qualities. Compared with magicians, contemporary stupid scholars are as different as small mounds and mountains and graves. As a saint, you can understand the truth of right and wrong and see the truth of chaos. Therefore, when he was governing the country, he formulated clear laws and set severe penalties to save people's disasters and eliminate human disasters, so that the strong did not bully the weak and the masses did not invade widows. The old man enjoys his old age, the youngest son and orphan grow up, the border is inviolable, the monarch and the minister get along closely, and the father and son care for each other, without fear of death or escape. This is also the most important achievement! Stupid people don't understand this, but they regard it as cruel. Although they want security, they are opposed to the way to achieve security; Everyone hates danger, but they like the reason for it. How did you know? Severe punishment and harsh laws are disgusting to the people, but they are also a way of state governance; Pity for the people to reduce punishment is what the people like, but it is also a way for the country to get into danger. Sages who rule the country by law will violate the world and obey the truth. People who know will agree with the principle and violate the secular; People who don't understand will violate the principle and agree with the secular. When few people in the world know this principle, it becomes wrong.
Being in an unreasonable position, framed by everyone, submerged in secular public opinion, it is very difficult to seek peace in front of a strict monarch. This is the reason why Buddhist practitioners can't enjoy prestige in society until they die. My younger brother Chun has a lover named Yu, and Chun's wife's son is Jia. I wanted Chun Shen Jun to abandon his wife, so I dismembered myself and showed it to Chun Shen Jun and cried. "I feel very lucky to be your servant. However, an obedient lady can't serve you, and neither can an obedient lady. I am really not virtuous, and I have no ability to satisfy both of you. The situation now is that I can't serve you two well. I would rather die in front of you than my wife. After my death, if there are people who are favored by you again, I hope you must observe this situation clearly and don't be laughed at. " Chun therefore believed Yu's lies and abandoned his wife for her. In order to kill Jia and make his son an heir, he broke his cardigan and called Chunkan, crying, "I have been spoiled by you for a long time. A didn't know it at first, but now she wants to force me to flirt. " I quarreled with him and even tore my clothes. There is nothing more serious than children being unfilial. "Great anger, killed jia. So my wife was abandoned because of Yu's lies, and my son died because of it. From this perspective, a father who loves his son will still be hurt by rumors, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is not as close as that between father and son, and the rumors of ministers are not just a false gossip. No wonder the sage is going to be killed! This is why Shang Yang was dismembered in Qin and Wu Qi was dismembered in Chu. Generally, people in detention don't want to be punished when they are guilty, but they want to be powerful when they are inactive. Sages govern the country, those who have no credit will not be rewarded, and criminals will be punished. In that case, the wizard's character will be framed by the monarch's attendants, and the wise monarch will not adopt his ideas.
Contemporary scholars talk about the monarch, not "controlling evil officials with majesty", but all say "benevolence, righteousness and love are enough." The monarch appreciates the reputation of benevolence and righteousness without examining its essence. Therefore, serious national subjugation, monarch subjugation, lighter land loss and humble throne. How did you know? Giving to the poor is what the world calls benevolence; Poor man, can't bear punishment, this is what the world calls love. Since we have to give alms to the poor, those who fail will be rewarded; Since I can't bear to punish, I can't stop it. When the country has people who are rewarded for their useless work, the people will not devote themselves to fighting and killing the enemy abroad, nor will they work hard at home. They are all bent on bribing and buttering up powerful people, building a reputation with private good deeds, and getting high officials and rich salaries. Therefore, there are more and more private officials, and * elements are becoming more and more rampant. What are we waiting for if the country does not die? Severe punishment is the fear of the people, and severe punishment is the disgust of the people. Therefore, the sage decides to punish evil severely and prevent evil severely. So the country is stable and will not happen. Based on this, I know that benevolence, kindness and love are not enough, and severe punishment can govern the country. Without the power of the whip and the configuration of the bit, even Zhao Fu, who is good at driving, can't tame the horse; There are no rules as guidelines and chalk lines to correct. Even the skillful craftsman Wang Er can't draw Fiona Fang well; Without majestic power and laws with clear rewards and punishments, even Yao and Shun could not govern the country well. It is hopeless for contemporary monarchs to give up harsh laws easily and practice benevolence, but they want to establish their hegemony achievements. Therefore, people who are good at being monarchs. Clearly set rewards and benefits to motivate people, so that people can get rewards by making contributions, rather than relying on the righteousness of the monarch; Enforce harsh laws to restrict people and punish them for their sins, instead of relying on the monarch to talk about love and forgiveness. Therefore, people who do nothing will not dream of being rewarded, and people who commit crimes will not get away with it. Relying on a strong car and a good horse can break through the danger of steep slopes on land; With the stability of the ship and the function of the paddle, the difficulty of crossing the river on water can be overcome; Only by mastering the magical power and imposing severe punishment can we achieve the achievements of the overlord. There are magical rewards and punishments for governing the country, just like there are solid chariots and good horses on land, canoes and paddles on the water road, and those who rely on them can succeed. Yi Yin mastered the magic and practiced rewards and punishments, so the shopping mall was king; Guan Zhong mastered the magic weapon and implemented clear rewards and punishments, so Qi Huangong dominated; Shang Yang mastered the wide magic, implemented clear rewards and punishments, and made Qin powerful. These three people are proficient in the magic of achieving hegemony, familiar with the methods of governing Qiang Bing, and do not stick to secular preaching; If it conforms to the wishes of the contemporary monarch, it will be appointed directly by the cloth man; When they govern the country in the position of ministers, they can receive achievements that the monarch respects and expand their territory: such talents can be called respectable ministers. Shang Tang got Yi Yin, and became the son of heaven with the land of a hundred miles; Qi Huangong got Guan Zhong, became the first of the five tyrants, and became a nine-member vassal. Conquer the world; Qin Xiaogong achieved its commercial purpose, thus expanding its territory and strengthening its strength. Therefore, with loyal ministers, the monarch has no worries about the invasion of neighboring countries and no worries about the domestic ministers' insurrection. The world is stable for a long time, and its reputation will be passed down to future generations. This is the so-called true loyal minister. As for Yurang, as a courtier of Zhi Bo, he couldn't convince the monarch of the world, make Zhi Bo understand the truth of the spell system, avoid disaster, lead his army south, and make the country stable. When Zhao Xiangzi killed Zhi Bo, Yurang blackened his skin, cut off his nose and ruined his face in an attempt to get back at Zhi Bo from Zhao Xiangzi. Although it has a reputation of being loyal to the monarch at the risk of death, it is actually not good for Zhi Bo. This is what I belittle, but when the monarch thinks he is loyal and respects him. In ancient times, there were two people, Boyi and Shu Qi. Zhou Wuwang gave them the world, but they didn't accept it. Finally starved to death in shouyangshan. Detainees like Yu Rang, Bo Yi and Shu Qi are not afraid of heavy punishment, do not ask for generous rewards, and cannot restrain them with punishment or command them with rewards. This is called a useless courtier. This is the person I despise and reject, but it is the person that contemporary monarchs admire and demand.
There is an old saying: "Lepers pity the monarch." This is disrespectful to the monarch. However, there are no false proverbs in ancient times, so we have to examine them carefully. This sentence is aimed at the robbed and killed monarch. The monarch will not use magic to control his deputy. Even if he is old and junior, the minister will still have the right to handle and decide things without authorization, but he will be busy with his own private affairs. He was afraid that the relatives and heroes of the monarch would use the power of the monarch to restrain and punish themselves. So he killed the virtuous adult monarch, supported the young and cowardly monarch, and abolished those who should not inherit the throne. Therefore, "Zuo Zhuan" records: "The son of the King of Chu will visit the State of Zheng and has not left the country. He heard that the king of Chu was seriously ill and returned to the court. He went in to visit the sick, strangled the king of Chu with his hat belt, and became the king of Chu himself. Cui Yao's wife in Qi is very beautiful, and King Qi Zhuang knows her very well. I have entered Cui Shu's home many times. When Zhuang Gong came again, Jia Ju, the retainer of Cui Yao, led Cui Yao's troops to attack Zhuang Gong. Zhuang Gong fled to the mansion and asked Cui Shu to divide the land equally, but Cui Yao refused. Zhuang Gong asked to commit suicide in the ancestral temple, but Cui Yao still refused. So Lord Zhuang fled and climbed over the north wall. Jia Ju shot Zhuang Gong and hit him in the thigh. Zhuang Gong fell from the wall, and Cui Yao's men hacked him and his brother to death. Then Cui Wei made Zhuang Gong's younger brother Gong Jing the monarch. " What I saw recently: Li Dui was in power in Zhao, and King Wuling of Zhao was trapped and starved to death for 100 days; Zhuo Tooth came to power in the State of Qi, pulled out the tendons of the King of Qi, hung them on the beams of the ancestral temple, and died overnight. Therefore, although leprosy is swollen and sore, it is not as severe as it was in the Spring and Autumn Period. Compared with modern times, starvation and cramps are not enough. Therefore, the robbed and killed monarch must have more inner fear and physical pain than the lepers. From this point of view, even saying that "lepers pity the monarch" is not bad.
