Han Fei

Chapter 35

难势
Shenzi said: The flying dragon rides the clouds, the snake rides the fog, the clouds disappear and the fog disappears, but the dragon snake and the ants are the same, and they lose their ride.Therefore, if a virtuous person is deceived by an unworthy person, his power will be light and his position will be low.If you are unworthy but can submit to a sage, you will be powerful and respectable.Yao was an ordinary man and could not govern three people, but Jie was the son of heaven and could disrupt the world.From this, I know that power and position are enough to rely on, but virtuous wisdom is not enough to admire.A crossbow with a weak crossbow and a high arrow will be excited by the wind.Those who are unworthy and ordered to do so will benefit from the public.Yao taught in the subordinates but the people did not listen, and as for the south, he ruled the world, and the orders were followed, and the prohibitions were stopped.From this point of view, virtuous wisdom is not enough to convince the public, but the status is enough to dissuade the sages.

Ying Shenzi said: "Flying dragon rides on the cloud, and flying snake travels through the mist. I don't think that the dragon and snake are not dependent on the force of the cloud and mist."Although, is it enough for a husband to choose a virtuous and full-time power for governance?Then I haven't seen it.The husband has the power of clouds and mists, but those who can ride on them are the most beautiful of dragons and snakes.Today, when the clouds are full and the maggots cannot swim, if the fog is thick and the maggots cannot swim, if the clouds are full of mist but cannot ride, the ants are weak.Today, Jie and Zhou are facing the south and rule the world, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven is a cloud, but if the world is not in chaos, the talents of Jie and Zhou are weak.Moreover, his people ruled the world with Yao's power, so how could their power be different from Jie's power, and those who messed up the world.If the husband is powerful, he must make the sage use himself, and the unworthy will not use himself. The sage uses it to rule the world, and the unworthy uses it to make the world chaotic.In human nature, the virtuous are few and the virtuous are many, but those who use the power of power to benefit the unworthy in troubled times, the wealth is too many to disrupt the world with power, and the few who rule the world with power are few.Those who are in power will rule and benefit chaos, so Zhou Shu said: Don't give wings to a tiger, you will fly into the city, choose people and eat them.A husband who takes advantage of the power of an unworthy person is giving a tiger its wings.Jie and Zhou used high platforms and deep pools to exert their power to the people, and they used cannons to burn people to harm the people's character.Let Jie and Zhou be ordinary people, and they are in the process of being tortured before they start to act together.Those who are in power, who raise the heart of tigers and wolves and become violent #1 chaos, are also the great troubles of this world.When power is used to rule chaos, there is a place at the root and at the end, but those who speak specifically about power are enough to rule the world, their wisdom is shallow.Fu Liang's horses and chariots made Zang Huo Yuzhi laugh at others, and Wang Liang Yuzhi made thousands of miles a day.Chariots and horses are not different, and they may be thousands of miles away, or if they are laughed at by others, they will be far away from each other by coincidence.Today, the state is used as a chariot, power is used as a horse, orders are used as a bridle, and punishments are used as a whip. If Yao and Shun rule the world, the world will be governed, Jie and Zhou will rule the world, and the virtuous and unworthy will be far away.If a husband wants to chase after speed and go far, he doesn't know how to be a king, and if he wants to make gains and eliminate harms, he doesn't know how to use talents, so he doesn't know what kind of troubles he has.Fu Yao and Shun were also kings Liang who ruled the people.

The reply said: "He is a man who is powerful enough to govern officials."The guest said that it is necessary to treat the virtuous and govern, but it is not the case.Husband and power, one name can change countless people.Inevitability must be in nature, and inaction is in force.I am the one who speaks of power, and the establishment of others.Today, when Yao and Shun gained power and ruled, Jie and Zhou#2 gained power and caused disorder, I do not think Yao and Jie did otherwise.Although, it is not the income of one person.Husbands Yao and Shun were born in high positions, even though there were ten Jie and Zhou who could not be disrupted, the power would rule.Jie and Zhou were also born to be in high positions. Although there are ten Yao and Shun who cannot be governed, the situation is chaotic.Therefore, it is said: Those who rule the situation cannot be chaotic, but those who are in chaos cannot be governed.This natural trend is also not a result of human beings.If what I said is that what people gain is nothing more than power, what is the matter with the virtuous!How to understand it?The guest said: "People who shoot spears and lances praise the lance for its strength, and nothing can fall into it. The Russians also praise their spears, saying, "My spear is so sharp that everything can fall into it."People should say: "How about using the spear of the son to sink the pole of the son?"His people can't respond.It is said that the inviolable scorpion and the all-invincible spear are incompatible.The behavior of a husband and a virtuous person cannot be restrained, and the way of power cannot be restrained. With the momentum that cannot be restrained, this is also the theory of spears.The incompatibility of husband and virtuous power is also clear.Moreover, Yao, Shun, Jie, and Zhou came out of thousands of generations, and they were born shoulder to shoulder, and the rulers of the world are endless.The reason why I am a speaker of power is in the middle.Those who are in the middle are not as good as Yao and Shun at the top, and they are not Jie and Zhou at the bottom.Today, abolishing the situation and reversing the law and treating Yao and Shun, Yao and Shun will be ruled, this is a thousand generations of chaos and one rule.Treat Jie and Zhou with the law, and Jie and Zhou will cause chaos.Moreover, if a husband governs a thousand and makes the one chaotic, and governing the one and making a thousand chaotic, it is like taking the bait of a horse and dividing them, and they are far away from each other.Husband abandons the method of concealment, and measures the number, so that Xi Zhong can be used as a cart, and it cannot be #3 into a round.Without the persuasion of celebration and reward, the power of punishment and punishment, the interpretation of power and the commission of law, Yao and Shun's households say and people argue about it, and it is impossible to rule the three schools.It is also clear that the husband's power is sufficient, but it is not #4 that the day #5 must treat the virtuous.And the husband does not eat for a hundred days to wait for the meat of the beam, and the hungry will not live.Treating the sages of Yao and Shun today is to govern the people of the present age, which is like treating the flesh of Liang to save the hungry.The husband said that good horses and solid chariots, Zang Huoyu made people laugh, and Wang Liangyu took thousands of miles a day, I don't think so.The husband waits for the good sea swimmers of the Yue people to save the drowning people in China. The Yue people are good at swimming, but the drowning people are useless.It is impossible and clear to say that Wang Liang of old should be able to control the horses of today, just like the saying of Yue people saving drowning.Fuliang horses and solid chariots are set up every fifty miles, so that the middle hand can drive them, and they can chase them fast and go far.It can be reached, and a thousand miles can be reached in a day, so why wait for the ancient king to be good?And to defend, if it is not Wang Liangye, then Zang Huo must be defeated.If you don't use Yao and Shun to govern, you must make Jie and Zhou mess them up.This taste is not sweet, it must be like Laiting calendar.This is an accumulation of debates and rhetoric, which is unreasonable and unreasonable, and the discussion between the two sides is also difficult to ridicule, and it is unreasonable!The guest discussion is not as good as this theory.

Debate
Or ask: Is it safe to argue?Confrontation: It is unknown to be born above.The questioner said: Why is there debate because of the unknown cause?Confrontation: In the country of the master of the Ming Dynasty, the words of the order are the most precious, and the law is the most suitable.Words are equally valuable, and laws are not equally appropriate, so those whose words and deeds are inconsistent with the law must be banned.If he can't make orders but can take advantage of deceit and respond to profit, the superior will take his words and blame the truth. If the words are correct, there will be great benefits, and if they are inappropriate, there will be serious crimes. The fools are afraid of crimes and dare not speak up, and the wise cannot bring lawsuits. So there is no reason to argue.This is not the case in troubled times. There are orders from the Lord, but the people criticize them with literature, and the government has laws and people to correct them privately.A man who speaks and does what he says is a shell whose function is his.If a husband sharpens his arrows and shoots them recklessly, the end is not bad, but he can't be called a good shooter, nor a man of impermanence.If you set a distance of five inches, it will lead to a distance of ten steps. If you are not sure if you are not Yi or Pangmeng, you will always be able to hit it.Therefore, if there is constant, Yi and Pang Meng regard the five-inch one as a cleverness, while impermanence regards it as clumsy.Now listen to words and observe deeds, don't use the public as a shell, even though the words are well observed, although the deeds are firm, then you will speak rashly.It is based on listening to words in troubled times, using difficult knowledge as observation, and blog posts as argument.His observations and deeds also regard being out of the group as a virtuous person, and taking offense as a resistance.The owner of the person speaks the words of debate and inspection, respects the virtuous and resists the action, the old man who is a magician, makes a choice, don't say goodbye to the argument, and don't be righteous.Therefore, there are many people who wear Confucian clothes and carry swords, but few people who farm and fight.There are no thick words and chapters, but the laws and regulations of the constitution.Therefore, it is said that if the above is not clear, debate will arise.

ask field
Xu Qu asked Tian Jiu, saying: "The minister heard that the wise man met the king without attacking him, and the sage followed him without seeing merit."Let Yangcheng Yiqu, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and deal with Uncle Mao.Gongsun Danhui, the holy minister, is also about the state department.why?Tian Jiu said: There is no other reason or foreign object here.And I don't hear that Song Ji, the general of Chu, lost his power, and Feng Li, the prime minister of Wei, perished his country.The two monarchs are driven by voices and dizzy debates. They don't try to Mao Bo, and they don't care about the state.From this point of view, the husband has no test of Uncle Mao, and the customs of the state department, how can he understand the master's preparations!

Duke Tangxi called Han Zi and said: "The minister heard that obedience and courtesy are all skills."Cultivating and withdrawing wisdom is the way of success.Mr. Jin legislated the technique and set the degree, and I secretly thought that it was in danger and I was almost driven away.How to do it?The old king's art said: Chu did not use Wu Qi to destroy chaos, Qin became prosperous and strong by running Shang Jun, and the words of the two sons are valid.Encounters are not inevitable, misfortunes cannot be dismissed, a husband abandons the perfect way and acts recklessly in danger, and stealing a husband has nothing to do.Han Zi said: Mr. Chen Ming's words are valid.It is not easy to deal with the handle of the husband governing the world and the cuteness of the people.However, those who abolished the teachings of the former kings and followed what the lowly ministers took, secretly thought that they were legislative techniques and set degrees, so they benefited the people and facilitated the way of the common people.Therefore, it is a benevolent and wise act to not be afraid of the disaster of the chaotic master secretly, but to think about the capital and profit of the people.Those who are afraid of disasters between the masters and the masters, but avoid the harm of death, who know how to know but don't see the people's love, are greedy and despicable.The minister can't bear to be greedy and despicable, and dare not hurt benevolence and wisdom.The former king had the intention of a fortunate minister, but he actually had the reality of a greatly injured minister.

定法
The questioner said: Shen Buhai and Gongsun Yang, which of these two schools is more eager for the state?It should be said: It is impossible to pass.A person will die if he does not eat for ten days, and he will die if he does not wear clothes in the great cold.It is said that food and clothing are more urgent than others, but you can’t have none of them, they are all tools for health preservation.Today's application does not harm rhetoric, but Gongsun Yang is the law.The artisan is given an official because of his appointment, and he is responsible according to his name#8. In fact, he is the one who uses the handle of killing and teaches the ability of the officials.For the law, the constitution is enacted by the government, and the punishment must be in the hearts of the people. Rewards are based on prudent laws, and punishments are added to adulterers. This minister is also a teacher.If the ruler is incapable, it will harm the superiors, and if the ministers are incapable, the inferiors will be in chaos. This is indispensable, and they are all tools of the emperor.

The questioner said: What is wrong with mere tricks but no skill?Confrontation: Shen Buhai, the assistant of Han Zhaohou.Han is another country of Jin.The old law of Jin has not ceased, but the new law of Han has emerged.The first king's order was not received, and then the second king's order was issued again.To apply for no harm is not to be good at the law, but if you don't follow the constitution, you will be more treacherous.Therefore, if the benefit is before the old law, it will be the way, and if the benefit is after the new law, the way will be the way.Even though Shen Buhai's ten envoys Zhaohou used his techniques, the treacherous ministers still had some embarrassing remarks.Therefore, thanks to the strength of Wancheng Han, 70 years will not be the overlord, although the use of skills is excellent, the law is not diligently used to embellish the official's troubles.Gongsun Yang ruled the Qin Dynasty. He set up a lawsuit against each other and was responsible for the truth. He shared his crimes even if he was five. Its country is rich and military strong.However, if there is no skill to know a traitor, it is only because of its wealth and strength that it is also a servant of others.When Xiao Gong and Shang Jun died, King Hui ascended the throne, Qin Fa was not defeated, and Zhang Yi died of Qin for Han and Wei.King Hui died, King Wu ascended the throne, and Gan Mao sacrificed Qin to Zhou.King Wu died, King Zhaoxiang came to the throne, Ranghou Yuehan, Wei and the east attacked Qi, and in five years, the land that Qin did not benefit from a foot of land was the feudal title of the city and its Taoyi.Ying Hou attacked Han for eight years and became the feudal ruler of Runan.Since then, all those who use Qin should respond to, Rang and the like.Therefore, if the victory is won, the ministers will respect, and if the land is benefited, it will be entrusted privately. The master has no skills to know the traitor.Although the emperor of Shang embellished his methods ten times, the ministers used their resources instead.Therefore, taking advantage of the capital of strengthening the Qin Dynasty, it will not be an emperor for decades.

The questioner said: Is it possible to use Shenzi's technique mainly, while officials practice Shangjun's method?Confrontation: "Shen Zi has not fulfilled the law."Shen Ziyan: Don't exceed the official position, although you know the words of the Ephesians.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to govern without exceeding the official's duty.The owner looks at it with the eyes of a country, so it is incomprehensible to see it.Listen with the ears of a country, so listen to Mo Congyan.If you know it now but don't say it, then the owner is still safe and false?The law of Shang Jun said #9: The one who cuts off a head is one rank, and the one who wants to be an official is an official of fifty shi.Those who cut off two heads will be second-ranked, and those who want to be officials will be officials with hundreds of stones.The transfer of officials and nobles is commensurate with the merit of beheading.Today there is a law that says: If the beheaded person is ordered to be a medical craftsman, the house will not be completed and the disease will continue.A craftsman is dexterous, and a doctor is a doctor.But taking the power of beheading for it is not worthy of its ability.Those who rule today are intelligent, and those who behead today are the result of courage.An official who cures wisdom with the addition of courage #10 is also a medical craftsman with the power of beheading.Therefore, it is said: The two sons are not perfect in magic arts.

Doubt
Those who govern well do not mean that their rewards and punishments are appropriate.Rewarding those who have done nothing and punishing innocent people is not the so-called wisdom.Rewarding meritorious deeds, punishing criminals without losing the person, the only way is for the person, and it is not for those who can make meritorious deeds and stop mistakes.Therefore, in the law of prohibiting adultery, the emperor forbids his heart, secondly forbids his words, and secondly forbids his deeds.In today's world, it is said that those who respect the Lord and stabilize the country must use benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, but those who do not know how to humble the Lord and endanger the country must use benevolence, righteousness and wisdom.Therefore, the lord of the Tao, far away from benevolence and righteousness, removes wisdom, and obeys the law.It is because of its reputation and prestige, the rule of the people and the national security, and the law of knowing how to use the people.Those who practice all kinds of skills are the reason why the Lord insists on them.The law is also the teacher of the official.However, it is not difficult for Lang Zhong to hear the Tao outside the Lang family, so that he sees the law every day within the border.

In the past, there was the Hu family who lost his degree, the Judou family had an orphan, the three seedlings had a foal, Jie had a marquis luxury, Zhou had a Chonghou tiger, and Jin had You Shi. These six people are the ministers of the subjugated country.If you say what is true and what is not, if you say what is not, when you are inside, you will be thieves; if you are cautious, you will be good; if you praise the past, you will be discouraged by good things; if you are good at Zen, you will collect the essence; Class also.The masters of the past, there are those who win people and live in peace and the country survives, and those who win people but endanger the country and perish.A master who is honest and clear in what his ministers say, is as good as black and white.

Ruofu Xuyou, Xuya, Jin Boyang, Qin Dianjie, Wei Qiaoru, Hu Buji, Chongming, Dong Bushi, Bian Sui, Wuguang, Boyi, Shuqi, these 12 people all benefited from the above. Joy, don't be afraid when faced with difficulties, or don't take it with the world, if you have the name of humiliation, you don't enjoy the benefits of eating the valley.The husband is not happy when he sees the profit, even though he is generously rewarded, he cannot persuade him.Don't be afraid in the face of difficulties, although severe punishments are not intimidating.This is called the people who do not order.These twelve died in caves, or withered by vegetation, or starved in valleys, or drowned in water springs.There are people like this, the ancient sage kings were not able to be ministers, will the world use them safely in today's world?
