Han Fei

Chapter 31

Difficult one
The actions of the ancients may be unreasonable, but Han Zili made it difficult for him to do so.

Duke Wen of Jin was about to fight the people of Chu. He summoned his uncle and asked him, "I will fight the people of Chu. I am outnumbered. What should I do?"The uncle said to him: "I heard it, a gentleman is a gentleman who never tires of loyalty and trustworthiness."There are many rituals, so it is called complicated rituals.Only loyalty and trustworthiness can learn etiquette, so it is called never tire of loyalty and trustworthiness.During the battle, there is no tire of deceit.You can't win without deceit, so it is said that you will never tire of deceit.You are just cheating.Wen Gong resigned from his uncle, and asked Yong Ji because he called him: "I will fight the people of Chu, and I will be widowed. What can I do?"Yongji said to him, "burning forests and cultivating fields is like stealing money."There are many beasts, but there is no need for no beasts in the future.If you cheat the people, steal it for a while, and then you will never get it back.To gain profit through deceit must be deceitful and vulgar, so there is no one who is loyal and trustworthy.Wen Gong said: good.He resigned from Yongji, and used his uncle's conspiracy to win or lose with the Chu people.Go back to the rank of noble, first Yongji and then uncle offender.The ministers said: "The matter of Chengpu, the uncle is guilty of conspiracy, is it possible for the husband to use his words and then follow his body?"Wen Gong said: This is not what you know.The husband and uncle's words are the power for a while, and the words of Yong Ji are the benefits of the eternal life.Zhongni heard it and said: "It's also appropriate for Wen Gong to dominate!"Not only know the power of the moment, but also know the benefits of the world.

Or say: Yongji's confrontation is not a question of Wen Gong.Anyone who answers the question is right because he asks whether the question is small or big, and if the question is tall and big and the answer is low and narrow, then the Lord will not accept it.Today, Wen Gong asked that he rarely met many people, but there will be no reply after the meeting, which is not why he should.Moreover, Duke Wen didn't know the power of the moment, nor the benefits of the world.Victory in battle means that the country will be safe and stable, and the army will be strong and powerful. Although there is a recovery, there is nothing greater than this.If the war is not victorious, the country will perish and the army will be weak, and the body will die and the name will live. If Ba Fu dies today, he will not be able to wait for the benefits of the eternity?The benefit of all ages lies in today's victory, today's victory lies in defrauding the enemy, defrauding the enemy, the benefit of all ages is already.Therefore, it is said: Yong Ji's right is not a question of Wen Gong.Moreover, Duke Wen didn't know what his uncle said.The so-called uncle who is not tired of cheating does not mean cheating his people, but please cheat his enemies.The enemy, the country he conquered, although there will be no recovery in the future, what harm is there?The reason why Wengong was the first to Yongji was because of his merits?Therefore, those who defeated Chu and broke the army were also the plan of the uncle.With his kind words?Then Yongji said that there will be no recovery after that, and there are no good words.If the uncle commits a crime, he will do it at the same time.Uncle Offender said: A gentleman who is very polite is not tired of those who are loyal and trustworthy. He is loyal so he loves his subordinates, and he is trustworthy so he does not deceive his people.Since the husband loves and does not deceive, who is good at it?However, it must be said that it is a trick of the military.Before the crime, the uncle had good words, but afterward he won. Therefore, the uncle made two meritorious deeds later, and Yongji rewarded him first if he did not have one.Isn't it appropriate for Wen Gong to dominate?Zhongni doesn't know how to reward good people.Zhongni doesn't know how to appreciate good things, so why should he sigh in vain?
The farmers in Lishan invaded the bank, and Shun went to plow Yan.Xiangqian is also upright.Fishermen on the riverside fight to reach, to reach high ground in the water, fishermen rely on it.Shun went to Yuyan, and he gave up for a long time.The pottery of Dongyi is bitter, bitter, and evil.When Shun went to Tao Yan, he was imprisoned for a few years.Zhongni sighed and said, "Plowing, fishing and pottery are not for Shun officials, nor for adults."And Shun went to do it, so he saved the defeat.Shun Qi believes in benevolence!It is the cultivation of suffering and the people follow it, so it is said that the virtue of the sage is transformed.

Or ask Confucianists: Fang is at this time, and Yao is there?The man said: Yao is the Son of Heaven.But what about Zhongni's sage Yao?Yao is above, and three people are evil, Zhong Ni asks Yao to be a saint, what can I do?A sage who is clearly aware of the superior position will make the world free from traitors.Today, there is no competition for farming and fishing, and there is no pottery. How can Shun be virtuous?If Yao put the sage above all else, he would be courteous, so why should Shun change it?Shun's rescue failed, but Yao also lost.The virtuous and shun would forsake Yao's discernment, and the sage Yao would forgo the virtue of Shun, and they cannot have both.The Chu people have zhai 楯 and spears, and they praise them, saying: "My 楯 is so strong that I can't fall into it."He also praised his spear and said: "The sharpness of my spear can trap everything."Or it can be said: How about using the spear of the son to sink the shank of the son?His people can't respond.A man who cannot fall into a stick and a spear that cannot fall into nothing cannot stand together in the same world.Today, Yao and Shun are inseparable, as is the theory of spears.Moreover, when Shun was rescued and defeated, one year had passed, and three years had passed three times. Shun was exhausted, and his life span was exhausted.Rewards and punishments make the world have to do it, and the order says: those who are in the middle will be rewarded, and those who are in the middle will be punished.Let the dynasty change from dusk to dusk, and from dusk to dynasties, it will be completed in ten days, how can we wait for a year?Shun still didn't say that Yao ordered him to obey himself, but bowed to his own relatives. Isn't it also useless?It is also difficult for Yao and Shun to take the body as a suffering and then transform the people.Those who are arrogant in the situation are easy to be mediocre.To rule the world, explain what is easy for the yong ruler, and what is difficult for Taoist Yao and Shun, it is not possible to use it as a government.

Guan Zhong was ill, and Duke Huan asked him, "Zhong's father was ill, and unfortunately died of his death. Will you sue the widow?"Guan Zhong said: "Your Majesty speaks, so I will pay homage to it."May you go to Shu Diao, get rid of Yi Ya, and Master Yuanwei prescribe a prescription.Yi Ya #2 is the taste of the monarch, and the emperor has no taste of human flesh, so Yi Ya steams his head and enters it.Madam loves her son, if she loves her son today, how can An Neng love the king?Jun Tuo is good at the interior, and he ruled the interior by erecting Diao from the palace.Humanity does not love the body, and the body does not love, how can An Neng love the king?He has been serving the emperor for 15 years, Qi and Wei can't travel for a few days, abandoning his mother#3 Jiuguan and never returning.If his mother doesn't love her, how can An Neng love you?The minister heard that the hypocrisy does not last long, and the falsehood does not last long.It won't last long to cover up fraud.May you go to the third son.Guan Zhong died, but Duke Huan did not.And when Duke Huan died, the insects came out of the corpse and were not buried.

Or say: The reason why Guan Zhong told Huan Gong was not the words of a man with a degree.Therefore, those who are stubborn and easy to teeth, because they don't love their body, are suitable for the king's desire.It is said that if one does not love one's body, one can love one's ruler, but if a subject thinks of his master with all his might, he will not love his body with all his might.Guan Zhong will not use it.It is said that if you don't love his deadly power, An Neng loves the king, and it is the king who is loyal to his ministers.And to save him from not loving his ruler by not loving his body, is to save him from dying Duke Huan by using Guan Zhongzhi's impossibility to kill his son, Lu.It is Guan Zhong who is also in the area he is going to.The way of the Ming Lord is not the same. Set up what the people want to get their merits#4, so Juelu persuades them.Set up evils for the people to prohibit their adultery, so punishments are used to intimidate them.Rewards are celebrated and punishments must be punished, so the king gives credit to his ministers, and traitors are not used on top.Those who have meritorious ministers will use them, but naturally they will not be used if they are treacherous.Although there are upright tricks, what can you do?And the ministers do their best to share with the king's city#5.The king counts the power of the minister, and the minister counts the king's salary.If the king has the way, then the minister will try his best to avoid adultery.If there is no way, then the ministers go up to the fortress and the master is clear and the bottom is selfish.Guan Zhongfei knew that Duke Huan was responsible for this, and when he sent him to be tricky, he made tricky again, which is not the way to eliminate treachery.Moreover, the reason why Duke Huan died and the worms flowed out of his body was not buried.The fact that the minister is important is also good at the master.If there are ministers who are good at the master, then the emperor's orders will not be followed, and the ministers will not be able to communicate with each other. The power of one person can separate the ruler and ministers, so that good and bad will not be heard, and misfortunes and blessings will not be heard, so there is a danger of not being buried.The way to understand the Lord is that one person should not be an official, one official should not be concurrent, the humble should not wait for the noble to advance, and the ministers should not be judged by the left and right.Hundreds of officials are well-rounded, and all officials gather together.Those who are rewarded will see their merits, and those who are punished will know their crimes.Knowledge does not contradict the former, and rewards and punishments do not harm the latter.Can be rewarded, rewarded, punished, punished, there is nothing wrong with it.Is there a danger of not being buried?Guan Zhongfei made this remark known to Duke Huan, and sent his three sons away, so he said: "Guan Zhong has no limit."

Xiangzi besieged in the center of Jinyang, and went out to reward five people who had made meritorious deeds, with Gao He as the leader.Zhang Mengtan said: "There is no great achievement in Jinyang's affairs. Why is it the first reward now?"Xiangzi said: "What happened in Jinyang, the country is in danger, and the country is in danger."There is no one in our group of officials who is not arrogant, but Hezi is the first to not lose the courtesy of a monarch and minister.Zhongni heard it and said, "Good reward, Mr. Xiang!"Those who reward one person and the world is a minister dare not be rude.

Or say: Zhongni doesn't know how to reward people well.If a husband is good at rewarding and punishing, hundreds of officials dare not invade their posts, and officials dare not be disrespectful.If the superiors set the law and the inferiors have no treacherous heart, then it can be said that rewards and punishments are good.Let Xiangzi live in Jinyang, but the order cannot be ordered, and the prohibition will not stop. It is because Xiangzi has no country, and Jinyang has no king. Who should guard it?Now Xiangzi is in Jinyang, Zhishi irrigates it, and turtles are born in the mortar, but the people have no resentment, it is the relative of the monarch and his ministers.Xiangzi has the honor of being a monarch and his ministers, and he follows the law of prohibition, but there are still arrogant and insulting officials, so Xiangzi has missed punishment.Those who are ministers will be rewarded for their meritorious service.Now He is not arrogant and insulting, but Xiangzi rewards him, which is a loss of reward.Whether the minister is arrogant or not, he only complies with the courtesy of the minister, and he does not reward unless he is good.Mingzhu rewards are not imposed on those who have no meritorious service, and punishments are not imposed on those who are innocent.Today, Xiangzi does not punish arrogant and insulting officials, but rewards those who have no merit #6. What is the reward of Xiangzi's kindness?Therefore, it is said that Zhongni does not know how to reward.

Duke Ping of Jin drank with his ministers, and when they were drunk, he sighed and said: "Mo Le is a king, but he can't disobey his words."Shi Kuang sat in front of him and helped the qin to hit it, but the public put on his quilt to avoid it, and the qin was broken by the wall.The duke said: "Who hit the grand master?"Shi Kuang said: "Nowadays there is a villain speaking on the side, so I bumped into it."The duke said: "I am also a widow."Master Kuang said, "Mute."sigh.It is the words of those who are right and wrong.Please remove the left and right.The duke said: "Release it, and think that the widow is a warning."

Or it can be said: Duke Ping loses the way of the king, and Shi Kuang loses the etiquette of his ministers.If a husband is punished for not doing what he does, that is what a ruler should do to his ministers.If you don't do what you say, you will make your words; if you are good at admonishing and don't listen, you will be far away from yourself, and you are a minister to the king.Today, Master Kuang is not acting as a fair man, he does not present the advice of the ministers, but he is punished by the master of the people, holding up the qin and kissing his body.If the husband is a minister, if the king has made a mistake, he will be admonished, and if he does not listen to the admonition, he will treat him lightly. This is the etiquette and righteousness of a minister.Today, Master Kuang is not the fault of Mr. Ping. He held up the qin and kissed his body.When a minister commits great rebellion, the Duke of Ping listens to it with joy, which is a violation of the way of the king.Therefore, the traces of Pinggong are not clear, so that the master listens too much and does not realize his mistake.It is also unclear what Shi Kuang did, which made treacherous officials remonstrate with him and act as a way of killing the king.It can not be called two clears, this is two faults.Therefore, it is said: Duke Ping lost the way of the king, and Shi Kuang also lost the etiquette of his ministers.

During the time of Duke Huan of Qi, there was a scholar called Xiaochen Ji, and Duke Huan went three times but could not see him.Duke Huan said: "I have heard that people in common clothes do not despise rank and salary, and there is no one who can easily change the master of ten thousand vehicles.So you can see it five times.

Or say: Duke Huan does not know benevolence and righteousness.Those who are benevolent and righteous worry about the harm of the world, tend to the trouble of a country, and do not avoid humiliation, which is called benevolence and righteousness.Therefore, Yi Yin regarded China as chaotic, and Dao as the master of Tang.Bailixi regarded Qin as a chaos, and Dao as captive to Duke Mu.Everyone is concerned about the harm of the world, tends to the trouble of a country, and does not hesitate to humiliate, so it is called benevolence and righteousness.Today, Duke Huan is using the power of ten thousand times to command ordinary people to worry about the state of Qi, but the small ministers can't do it. Seeing that the small ministers forget the people, forgetting the people is not benevolent and righteous.Those who are benevolent and righteous will not lose the courtesy of the people and ministers, and those who will not defeat the position of the monarch and ministers.Therefore, within the four seals, the court is called ministers when they hold meetings, and the ministers and officials are called Meng when they are assigned duties.Today, the small ministers are among the people, but they are against the desire of the emperor, so they cannot be called benevolence and righteousness.Benevolence and righteousness do not exist, and Duke Huan followed him with courtesy, so that the little ministers were wise and escaped from Duke Huan, which is also hidden.Morality is hidden away, not used by ministers, so it is appropriate to punish.If there is no wisdom and false arrogance to Duke Huan, it is a false accusation and should be executed.The trip of the minister is not punished but killed.Duke Huan could not understand the principles of ministers and masters, but he punished people with courtesy and punishment. Duke Huan taught Qi the custom of insulting the emperor lightly, not because of it.Therefore, it is said: Duke Huan does not know benevolence and righteousness.

In the battle of Miyu, Jin conquered Qiye, Miyu, the name of the mountain.Han Xianzi was about to behead someone, Qie Xianzi heard about it, and drove to save him, and when he arrived, he was already beheaded.Xie Ziyin said: "Huh, don't you take advantage of it?"His servant said: "Will you save him in the past?"Xie Zi said: "Do I dare not to slander?"

Or say: Xiezi's words must be investigated, not slanderous.What Han Zizhi cut is also, if the sinner is not saved, saving the sinner is the reason why the law is defeated, and the failure of the law will lead to chaos in the country.If he is not a sinner, then to persuade him to sacrifice himself, to persuade him to favor him, is to blame the innocent, and to behead the innocent, and to sacrifice the innocent, is to emphasize the innocent.The innocent are the ones who resent the people, and the resentment of the people will endanger the country.Qie Zi's words, if there is no danger, there will be chaos, so it must be investigated.And if Han Zizhi beheaded a sinner, how could Xie Zi beheaded?If the beheading is not a sinner, then it has already been beheaded, and Qie Zi and even Han Zi's slander has been completed, and Qie Zi will come later.Husband Qiezi said that martyrdom is not enough to divide the slander of beheading, but it is also the slander of martyrdom.Sacrificing the innocent, benefiting from a slander.It is also a sub-word to slander.In the past, Zhou was a cannonball, and Chonghou and Elai also said that they cut off the shin of those involved, and they were divided into Zhou's slander?This help is false, and it is even more beneficial to slander.Moreover, the people's expectations are too high, Han Zifu got it, and he must not be beheaded to call him innocent.Let's hope Qiezi can get it.Hope that Qiezi is correcting Hanzi's mistakes.Now that the sons of Qie are all gone, the people will be in despair, and the emperor will hear the evil, so what can they hope for.Therefore, it is said: Qiezi's words are not to divide and slander, but to benefit slander.Moreover, Xie Zi went to save his sins, took Han Zi as wrong, did not know why he was wrong, and persuaded him to die, so that Han Zi did not know his fault.The husband made the people hopeless, and made Han Zi not aware of his mistakes. I didn't know the reason why Qie Zi divided and slandered.

Duke Huan released Guan Zhongzhi from his shackles and met him.Guan Zhong said: "My ministers are favored, but my ministers are humble."The duke said: Let the son stand tall and above the country.Guan Zhong said: "Your ministers are expensive, but your ministers are poor."The duke said: "The son has three homes to return to."Guan Zhong said: "The minister is rich, but the minister is sparse."So he became his second father.Xiao Lue said: "Guan Zhong thinks it is impossible to rule a country when you are humble, so please be tall and above the country."It is impossible to rule the rich with the poor, so please return three times.It is considered that sparseness cannot govern relatives, so it is Zhongfu.Guan Zhongfei was greedy for the sake of governance.
