Han Fei

Chapter 6

If you want to be a country, you must cut down its gatherings.To get together is to make friends with cronies, and those who cut them down, so they disperse their cronies.If you don't cut down the gathering, he will gather the crowd.If you want to be the land, you must give it to you, and the land is also the country.If you want to govern your country, you must order and bestow appropriate gifts.If it is not suitable for its gift, it will make people seek benefits.He asks me to give, pretends to ask for an axe, messes with others and seeks benefits and gives it to him, then he uses the ax to pretend to be an enemy.If you can't fake it, he will use it to kill me.Using an ax to fight an enemy is false or unacceptable, since the enemy has the axe, in my opinion, it is not appropriate to cut it down.The Yellow Emperor said: "One day up and down, there will be a hundred battles."Husbands who are in the top position are valuable, and those who are in the top position are greedy, but those who are in the bottom are always envious.Conceal their private interests at the bottom, use the test at the top, measure at the top, and cut off the bottom.Since the lower ones have a heart of envy, they often hide their secrets to test the higher ones, so the higher ones must use their measures to cut off the lower ones.Therefore, the establishment of the measure is the treasure of the Lord, and the measure can be cut off, so it is the treasure of the Lord.The tool of the party is the treasure of the minister.The party and tools can seize the throne, so they are treasures of ministers.Those who do not kill their rulers, the party does not have it.Therefore, if you lose support at the top, you will go down normally.Four fingers for support.There is little loss in the measurement, but the gain in the bottom is several times more.The king of a country does not have a large capital.If the capital is large, the minister will use it to treason the country.A minister with the right way does not value his family.The doctor is called the family, and his family is valued, and the minister will wave himself.A ruler of righteousness does not value his ministers.Noble your ministers, and your ministers will be more expensive than themselves.The expensive and the rich will be replaced by generals.Since the minister is rich and well-equipped, he will definitely replace the king.Prepared for danger, and put the prince in a hurry, there is no way to cause disaster.The prince, the second deputy of the king, is the important town of the country.If you want to prepare for its danger now, you must put it away quickly, and the disaster will stop itself.If you want to get out of the inner circle, you must exercise your own measure.The ministers seek the emperor from all sides, and they are often in the Yu, and now they want to get out of the Yu from the inside, but they can do it if they are determined.Those who are thick lose money, and those who are thin lose money.Thick means that the ministers and the party are in high position.Such a position will make it thin.There is a lot of loss, so don't make the people compare with Zhou and bully them.It's like a month of loss, and it's like a loss in the future.It is also taken that both prosperity and decline are the way of heaven.It's hot.If you drill into a fire to get heat, you can't stop breathing.The brief order is to be punished, and the punishment must be done.Do the punishment.Don't relax and bow, two males live in one place.The bow is used to shoot the hero who is not in the right place, which means that the criminal law punishes the officials who are not in the right position.There are two heroes in one habitat, and they fight.Competing for their appearance.Jackals are in prison, but their sheep are not breeding.The jackal is a metaphor for the corrupt officials.If a family is expensive, it will be of no avail.The two nobles fought for their lives, and the servicemen didn't know who to follow, so the story was useless.The husband and wife are in power, and the son is at a loss.If the husband sings and the wife follows, the etiquette is righteous.Now the husband and wife are arguing over their own affairs, so the son does not know what to do.As a ruler, you should drape your trees several times, but don't make the branches sparse.Wood, Yu Chen also.Phi, to drop its branches.Those who count down the branches are a metaphor for the power and influence of cutting down ministers.The wooden branches are sparse, and the public houses are filled, which means that the authority of the ministers overwhelms the lord, and the public houses are filled.The private door will be real, the public court will be empty, and the master will be surrounded.Wai, Yu also.Cover it with its wood several times, without making the branches of the wood reject it.Rejection is also called the one that grows beside the branches.If the wooden branches refuse, they will force the master.Count the number of trees, don't make the branches big and the roots small.If the branches are big and the roots are small, they will not be able to withstand the spring breeze, and if they cannot withstand the spring breeze, the branches will hurt the heart.It is also the reason why the spring breeze produces all things, and it is also the person who is rewarded by Yu Jun's kindness.The branches are big, and the spring breeze sends out its glory again to increase its weight, and it will hurt the heart if the branches are scattered.It is true that the ministers are true, and the emperor adds grace and rewards to increase his prestige, then the ministers will be two and endanger the emperor.Since there are many sons, the clan is worried.Clan, also known as Taizong Shizi's family.Since there are many concubines, they are domineering to the right ones, so I am worried.The way to stop it is to drape its trees several times, but not to make the branches luxuriant.The number of trees is covered, and the party and the party are separated.Digging its root, Mu Nai is not divine.Fill up the raging abyss, don't make the water clear.Abyss is the stagnation of water.If the water is clear, there must be many people who learn from it, and there must be many people who belong to the Yu family.Explore its bosom, seize the prestige.Exploring his bosom means that Yuan Qi knows what he wants to do.The Lord uses it like lightning or thunder.If the prestige is not divided, the king will be feared by the gods, so it is like thunder and lightning.

Eight traitors
There are eight techniques for mortal ministers to become traitors: Taoism and introduction.There are eight techniques for speaking of treacherous ministers, either to lure the ruler's left and right, or to lure the ruler's people to become treacherous.One said they were in the same bed.What is the same bed?It is said that your lady, if you love children, you will be seductive and lustful, and you will get a beautiful color.This person is also confused by the Lord.Entrusting Yan to be in danger, taking advantage of drunkenness and fullness, and seeking what he wants, this is a must-listen skill.Multiply, because also.When the wife and children are drunk and full, they enter with the utensils of Yan Yu, so that they can listen to everything they want.Those who are ministers use gold and jade in their internal affairs to deceive their masters. This is called sharing the same bed.With the treasures of gold and jade, the noble wife loves children and so on, so that they can confuse the master, and if the master is confused, the treachery will be successful.Er Yue is by the side.What do you mean by being around?It is said that the dwarfs are good at laughing, and those who are good at laughing are those who are good at laughing.Dwarf, short man also.This person is the only one who is not ordered by the master, who promises before the order is made, who first agrees to the purpose, and who observes the appearance and color before the master's heart.All of these are advancing and retreating, and all should be correct. It is said that if you want to advance, you should advance together with your left and right, and if you want to retreat, you should retreat together. If you ask, you will be right.One word is on the same track to shift the mind of the master.As a minister, internal affairs are better than playing with gold and jade, and external behaviors are illegal and make them become their masters. This is called being on the sidelines. #15偶臣使用金玉内事#16 A minister who is close to learning, but also acts illegally outside and gradually becomes his master.The third is father and brother.What is father and brother?Said the son of the concubine, the beloved of the master, the ministers and court officials, and the plan of the master, all of which have been discussed with the best efforts, and the master must listen to them.Those who are ministers serve the prince's concubine to voice their children, accept ministers and court officials to speak, make appointments and talk about things, and when things are done, they will be promoted to nobles and luxuries, so as to persuade their hearts to make them violate their masters. This is called father and brother.To receive means to collect one's heart.It is said that the minister wants to win the heart of the minister, and his words are used as a prestige#17, and he is even more disposed of, inviting him to speak to the emperor, and when the matter is accomplished, the minister will benefit from the honor. This is used to persuade his heart and make him violate his master. The principal offender has a gap between the monarch and his ministers, and treacherous ministers can plan.The fourth is to nourish disasters.What is nourishment?It is said that the person who enjoys beautiful palaces, terraces and pools, likes to decorate children, dogs and horses to entertain his heart, this person is the master of disaster.Those who are ministers do their best to beautify their palaces and pools, embellish their children and horses with heavy gifts, distract their minds by entertaining their masters, follow their own desires, and pursue their own interests. This is called raising disasters.The fifth is Minmeng.What is Min Meng #18?It is said that those who are people and ministers distribute public wealth to speak to the people, and do small favors to win the people, so that the court and the market will persuade themselves, so that they can block their masters.To achieve what one wants, this is called the people's cuteness.Six is ​​popular.What is popular?Those who say that they are the masters always obstruct their speech, and hope to listen to discussions, and they are easy to shift to debate.Jun's gate is separated by nine layers, and Xianjun hopes to meet #19, so it is said that talking about Yixi.Those who are ministers seek the debaters of the princes, raise those who can speak in the country, and make them speak privately, making clever words, popular words, saying that those whose words are clever and easy to listen to, seem to be fluent and feasible.Show it for advantage, fear it for harm, use empty words to destroy its owner, and use facilities to adorn empty words.This is called popular.The seventh is Weiqiang.What is IEI?Those who are said to be kings and people are those who regard the officials and the people as their prestige.If the ministers and the people are kind, the ruler will be kind, and if the ministers and the common people are not kind, the ruler will not be kind.Those who are ministers, gather guests with swords, raise men who are destined to die to show their prestige, know that those who are self-serving will benefit, and those who are not self-serving will die, so as to fear that their ministers and people will do their own selfishness, this is called prestige.Eight said the Quartet.What is the Quartet?It is said that if a ruler is a person, if a country is small, it will serve a big country, if its soldiers are weak, it will fear a strong soldier. What a big country asks, a small country will listen to, and what a strong soldier adds, a weak soldier will obey.Those who are people's ministers pay more attention to taxes and collections, use up the treasury, empty their country to serve a big country, and use their prestige to lure their king.What's more, the soldiers are gathered at the frontier to control the interior, and the few ambassadors are small to shock the king and make him fear. This is called the Quartet.All of these eight things, the reason why people and ministers become traitors, and why the world lord loses his possessions due to robbery, must not be ignored.

Mingjun is also inside, entertaining his appearance but not doing his best, and not making private invitations.Therefore, the same bed is also used to prevent first rape.It is also on the left and right, so that its body must be responsible for its words, and it will not use beneficial words.Therefore, it is also necessary to prevent the second traitor.As for his father, brothers and ministers, listening to his words will also make him punish and let him go, let him go when he is right, and punish him if he is not right.Do not act rashly.The father and brother who guard against the three traitors.It is also good for viewing and playing, and it must be made to come out, so that you know where it comes from.Don't make unauthorized advances, don't let unauthorized retreats, the officials will worry about their intentions.It is also to prevent the four traitors from raising disasters.Yu, Du Ye, will not let Du Jun's will to advance or retreat arbitrarily.It is also for virtue and charity, even if wealth is forbidden, the graves are distributed, and the millet is accumulated in the warehouses, just like a grave.Those who benefit the people must come from the king, and do not make people and ministers private.The people who guard against the five traitors are also cute.It is also said that what is good for those who praise and what is evil for those who criticize flaws must be based on their abilities, check their faults, test their capabilities, and examine their faults.Don't let the ministers talk to each other.The popularity of preventing six traitors.For men of courage and strength, there is no more reward for the merits of the army, and there is no pardon for the bravery of the towns.Don't let the ministers do their own money.The prestige of guarding against the seven traitors is also strong, and the warriors are not allowed to use their personal wealth.As for the pursuit of the princes, listen to the law, and stay away from the lawless.The Quartet of Anti-Eight Traitors.

The so-called dead kings do not have their own country, and those who do have do not own their own.Although the dead king owns the country, he does not own it, but the ministers control it to own it.If the external actions of the ministers are controlled internally, then the ruler will perish.If the minister controls the inside from the outside, and the ruler is not good at raising his hand, then the ruler will surely perish.To listen to a great country is to save the nation, but it is urgent not to listen to it, and to listen to a great country is to punish it endlessly. Do not listen.So don't listen. #20 The ministers know whether to listen or not, but they are no more than the princes. The diplomacy of the ministers is to listen to yourself as the king, and wants to have a structure.Now that you are not the general manager, the heart of diplomacy will cease.If the princes don't listen, they won't accept #21's ministers falsely accusing their king.The princes know that I don't listen to their ministers, and they don't accept the false words of other ministers to slander their kings.The Lord of the Ming Dynasty is an official position, noble salary, so it is also meritorious to recruit talents and persuade them.Therefore, it is said: virtuous and talented people will be appointed as high-ranking officials with high salary, and those with great achievements will be honored and highly rewarded.Officials and nobles measure their ability, and those who give them a salary call their merits.Therefore, the sages can serve their masters without false accusations, those who have meritorious deeds enjoy their careers, and the stories are successful.This is not the case today, if you don't teach the virtuous and the virtuous, the princes will use the merits of the meritorious service, and the princes will use the power and position as the most important thing.Hearing the greetings from the left and the right, fathers, brothers and ministers asked Juelu to be on the top, and sold them on the bottom to make money and build private parties.Therefore, those who have a lot of money and profit buy an official and think it is expensive, and those who have acquaintances please call on it to become important.Regardless of meritorious officials, the transfer of official positions is absurd.It is because officials steal officials to make diplomacy, and abandon affairs to make money.The world is based on the sages slacking off and not persuading them, and the meritorious ones slack off their careers. This is the trend of subjugation of the country.隳, to destroy, or originally to fall.
