Han Fei

Chapter 33

Difficult three
Duke Mu of Lu asked Yu Zisi, "I heard about Pang?"The son of the family is not filial, and his behavior is like that?Zisi said to him: A gentleman respects the virtuous to uphold virtue, and he does good to persuade the people.Ruofu's past behavior is known to small people, but his ministers don't know it.Zisi came out, and Zifu Li Bo came to see him, and asked Pang?The son of the family, Zifu Li Bo said to him: "Three things have passed, which are all unheard of by the king."Since then, noble sons think about it, while humble sons obey Li Boye.

Or say: Lu's public house, the third generation is robbed by the Ji family, it is not appropriate!The Ming ruler seeks goodness and rewards it, seeks evil and punishes it, and this is one of his rewards.Therefore, those who are good at hearing are the same as those who are good at speaking.Those who hear about adultery are the same as those above.This is what should be appreciated.Anyone who hears good news about traitors should be rewarded.Not to hear about adultery is different from the upper and lower comparisons with adulterers, which should be destroyed and punished.Today, Zisi does not take too much information, but Mu Gong is noble, Li Bo is adulterous, and Mu Gong is cheap. Human feelings like the noble and hate the cheap, so the chaos of the Ji family is not heard of #1. This is the reason why Lu Jun robbery also.Moreover, the custom of the dead king is that the people of Qu and Lu are beautiful, but Mu Gong is the only one who is the most precious, so it is not the same!

When Duke Wen went to exile, Minister Xian sent the eunuchs to attack Pucheng, cut it off, and Duke Wen went to Zhai.When Duke Hui ascended the throne, he also sent Hui Dou to attack him, but it was impossible.And Wen Gong rebelled against the country, and asked to see him.The Duke said: In the battle of Pucheng, the emperor ordered you to stay overnight, and you will arrive immediately.Hui Dou's difficulty, the king ordered three nights, but you one night, how fast is it?Pi Conversation said: "Your order is the same. If you get rid of the evil of the king, it will be unbearable. What are the people of Pu and Zhai?"At that time, the king was a member of Pu and Zhai, and there was no distinction between ministers, so what is there?Today's Duke ascends the throne, but he has no Pu and Zhai!Moreover, Duke Huan set up a shooting hook and met Guan Zhong.You will see it.

Or it can be said: Qi and Jin must worship, it is not appropriate!Duke Huan can use Guan Zhong's merits and forget the grudge of shooting the hook, Duke Wen can listen to the eunuch's words and abandon the crime of beheading, Duke Huan and Duke Wen can tolerate two sons.The king of later generations is not as wise as the second prince, and the ministers of later generations are not as good as the second son.A disloyal minister is an unknown king.If you don't know, there are Yan Cao and Zi Zhi.The thieves of Zihan and Tianchang.If you know it, you can explain it yourself with Guan Zhong and the eunuch.The emperor must not be punished, but he thinks he has the virtues of Huan and Wen.If you think you are virtuous but don't quit, you will have no heirs, so it's okay!And the words of the eunuch are also directly decorated with non-knowledge words.Those who do not follow the order of the emperor are true to the emperor.After the death of the emperor, the living ministers are worthy of being chaste again, not all die, and then become chastity.Today Huigong died in the court, but in the evening he served Wengong, what is the difference between the eunuchs?
There is a hermit who set up Duke Huan and said: "One difficulty, two difficulties, three difficulties, why?"Duke Huan could not shoot, so he sued Guan Zhong.Guan Zhong said to him: "It's difficult, it's close to the excellent but far away from the scholar."The second difficulty is to go to other countries and count the seas.The three difficulties are also, the prince is old and the prince is late.Duke Huan said: "Good."I don't choose a day to worship the prince in the temple.

Or say: Guan Zhongzhi can't hide his shots.The use of scholars is not near or far.And the wandering dwarf is the place where the master and the swallow are solid.Those who are close to the excellent and far away from the scholars, and think that they are governed, are not the ones who are difficult.If the husband is in a position and cannot use what he has, and refuses to go to the country, he is using the power of one person to ban a country.It is seldom possible to conquer a country with the power of one person.Ming can see the subtleties by illuminating the evil far away, and the order must be followed, even though it is far away from the sea, there will be no change inside.However, it is not a problem to go to the sea of ​​the country without robbery and killing.King Cheng of Chu regarded the merchants as princes, and wanted to take the position of prince, but the merchants were in trouble, so they killed the king.The son Zai, the prince of Zhou also, the son had a favorite, so he rebelled against Dongzhou and divided it into two countries.This is not the problem of the late placement of the prince.Husbands are divided in power, common people are evil and humble, and there is no excuse for favor. Although he is a minister, it is okay to be a prince late.However, it is not difficult to install the prince late, and the evils will not be chaotic.The so-called difficulty of things must take advantage of others to make them powerful and not make them infringe oneself, which can be called a difficulty.If the noble concubine does not make the second queen, the second difficulty is also.To love evil and not to let danger be appropriate, to listen to a minister and not dare to corner the ruler, these can be described as three difficulties.

Mr. Ye Gao asked Zhongni about politics, and Zhongni said: "Government depends on being close and far away."Duke Ai asked Zhongni about the government, and Zhongni said: "The government depends on choosing the best."Duke Jing of Qi asked Zhongni about the government, and Zhongni said: "Government is about saving money."When the Sangong went out, Zigong asked, "The Sangong asked the Master about Zhengyi, and the Master treated him differently. Why?"Zhong Ni said: Ye Du is big and the country is small, and the people are self-confident, so it is said that the government is happy and far away.Duke Ai of Lu has three ministers, those who are outside barriers and are far away from the princes and neighbors, and those who are inwardly compared with Zhou to fool his ruler, so that the ancestral temple will not be swept away, and the community will not be fed with blood, must be the three ministers, so it is said that the government is selecting talents.King Jinggong of Qi built the Yongmen Gate and used it as a road bed. In one dynasty, he gave three hundred houses to three people.Therefore, it is said that government is saving money.

Or say: Zhong Ni's confrontation is the words of the subjugation of the country.叶#4 The people have a double heart, and saying that the joy is near and far away is to teach the people to cherish benefits.Favoring the government, rewarding those who have no merit, and exempting those who have committed crimes is the reason why this method fails.The failure of the law leads to political chaos, and it is not possible to defeat the people with chaos.And if the people have a double heart, the king's wisdom is not as good as it.If you don't teach Ye Gong's wisdom, but make him happy near and far away, it is what you can't do without my power, but if you don't use it to benefit the people, you can't hold power.Husband Yao is a sage, the crown of the six kings is also, and Shun Yi came to make a salty bag, but Yao has no world.Some people have no skills to ban them, and they rely on being Shun without losing their people, so they are also incompetent!Mingjun sees small treachery in the slightest, so the people have no big plans.Small punishments are fine, so the people will not have great chaos.This means that those who are difficult to figure out are easy to find, and those who are big are easy to see.Now those who have made merit will be rewarded, and those who reward are not virtuous, because of strength.Those who are guilty must be punished, and those who are punished will not complain, as sin is born.The people know that punishment and punishment all originate from the body, so the merits of the disease are beneficial to the industry, and they are not bestowed on the king.If you are too high, you will be wise.This statement is too high and the people have nothing to say, how to take the people who are pregnant with benefits?The people of the Lord have no interests or harms, and if they say that they want to please the near and far, they can also give up themselves.Ai Gong has ministers with external barriers and compares Zhou to fool his lord within a distance. He said that he chooses virtuous people.Let Ai Gong know that the third son's outer barrier is farther than the inner circle, and the third son will stand up in a short time.Ai Gong didn't know how to choose the virtuous, he chose the so-called virtuous in his heart, so the three sons were able to serve.Yanzi Kuai Xianzi is not Sun Qing, so his death is slaughtered.Husbands are wise and wise, but they are fools and sons, so they perish in Yue.Lord Lu does not need to know the virtuous, but to select the virtuous is to make Ai Gong have the troubles of Fuchai and Yankuai.Mingjun does not promote his ministers, and ministers advance each other.If you are not self-virtuous, you will make meritorious deeds.Discussions are based on appointment, tests are based on things, and lessons are based on merit. Therefore, the officials are selfless in government, do not hide the virtuous, and do not advance.Jinggong gave a gift from a family of hundreds of chariots, and said that he was saving money.If there is a king who feeds his stomach with thousands of miles, even Jie and Zhou will not be extravagant.The state of Qi is three thousand miles away, and Duke Huan is half self-supporting, which is more extravagant than Jie and Zhou, but the one who can be the crown of the five tyrants knows the place of extravagance and thrift.Those who cannot be restrained are called calamity, those who cannot embellish themselves are called chaos, and those who do not restrain themselves are called poverty.Mingjun makes people selfless, and those who eat by deceit are forbidden.Do your best, and those who benefit from it will hear it, and those who hear it will be rewarded.Those who are filthy will know it, and those who know it will be punished.However, loyal ministers are loyal to the public, civilians do their best at home, all officials are refined and restrained, and they are honest and restrained.Extravagance doubles Jinggong, and it is not a country's trouble.But as above, although extravagant, it is not a national problem.However, it is not a matter of urgency to talk about saving money.The husband speaks to the Sangong and the Sangong can be safe, knowing the meaning of the next.If you know the next, you will be banned from the small, and if you are banned from the small, there will be no accumulation of adultery, if there is no accumulation of evil, there will be incomparable weeks, if there is no incomparable weeks, the public and private will be divided, and if the public and private are divided, the cronies will disperse.If you know the Ming, you will see the Jing Mu, if you see the Jing Mu, you will punish and appreciate the Ming, and if you punish and appreciate the Ming, the country will not be poor.Therefore, it is said: One pair and three males are safe, and knowing the next is what it means.Han Zi thought that Qi Huan was extravagant to Jie, and Zhou still did not lose his virtue, and he was formed in calligraphy, and he wrote it as a teaching. It is so unreasonable that he would not die in the prison of Qin.

Zheng Zichan went out in the morning, passed by the house of the craftsman, heard the crying of the woman, stroked her imperial hand and listened to it.Sometimes, if an official is sent to hold him and ask him, he will hang his husband with his hands.Another day, his emperor asked, "how does Master know this?"Zichan said: "His voice is frightening."Ordinary people are dear to them, worry when they are sick, fear when they are dying, and mourn when they are dead.Today, my husband cries for death but is not mournful but fearful, so he knows that he is an adulterer.

Or say: Isn't the rule of childbirth too much?Use wisdom instead of laws, so it is called troublesome.The traitor must wait until the eyes and ears can see it and then know it, so Zheng Guo will have few traitors.Do not serve as the official of Diancheng, Dian, the master.Call it what it is and be responsible for it.If you don't observe the politics of enlisting in the army, don't know how to measure, rely on your best intelligence, and use your wisdom to know traitors, isn't it also useless?Moreover, there are many things but few wisdoms, and the few cannot overcome the many, and the wisdom is not enough to understand things, so things are governed by things.It is said that if scale insects are cured because of dragons, feather crows are cured because of phoenixes.When there are many at the bottom and few at the top, and those who are too few to win the crowd, it is said that the king is not enough to know all the ministers, so people know people because of people.Therefore, the body is governed without labor, and the intellect is not used to gain adultery.Therefore, people in Song Dynasty said: If a bird passes Yi, it will win, and Yi will falsely accuse it.Although Yi was good at shooting, seeing a sparrow may not necessarily win him twice, so he called it false.Take the world as your guide, and the bird will not lose.A husband who knows a traitor also has a big Luo, and he will not lose one of them.If you don't cultivate its principles, but use your own chest observation as a bow and arrow, you will be falsely accused.Lao Tzu said: To rule a country with wisdom is to be a thief of the country.It is also called the childbirth.
