1. The Biography of Cui Si, classical Chinese reading

It should be the biography of "Cui Xi".

Cui Xiang, named Tingbo, was a native of Anping, Zhuo County. My great-great-grandfather, Cui Chao, worked for Youzhou during the reign of Emperor Zhao, and he advised the governor not to associate with King Yan Ci. Later, he failed to assassinate the king and was promoted to Shi Yushi. He gave birth to a son named Cui Shu, who successively served as the governor of four counties. He was known as capable wherever he went. Cui Shu's youngest son was named Cui Xiang. When Wang Mang was a county scholar, he was summoned to the bus by Ming Jing. Zhen Feng, the Taibao, appointed him as an infantry captain.

Cui Xiang said: "I heard that when conquering a country, one does not ask for benevolent people, and for battles, one does not visit Confucian scholars. How can you find me for this behavior?" So he confessed his fault and went home. Wang Mang hated those who did not agree with him and often used methods to slander them. At that time, Cui Peng's brother Cui Fa was favored by Wang Mang because of his cleverness, and his official position reached the rank of Da Sikong. The mother's master was well versed in Confucian classics and the language of hundreds of schools of thought. Wang Mang favored her with special gifts and gave her the title of Mrs. Yicheng, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and a Wenxuan Danbo, which became apparent in the new Mang generation. Later, Cui Xiang was appointed as the new great Yin. Cui Xiang had no choice but to sigh and said: "I was born in the age of Wuwu, and I met such kings as Chu and Yi. They have mothers above and brothers below. How can I control the Dharma body alone?" "Is he in danger?" He went to the official office on his bicycle, claiming that he was ill and had nothing to do. He did not go to the county to encourage farmers to grow mulberry trees for three years. Ni Chang, an official under his command, persuaded him, and Cui Cheng reluctantly stood up and issued the Spring Order. In the counties I visited, the prisons, large and small, were full of people. Cui Xiang cried and said: "Oh! The punishment was not met, so people were trapped. What crime did these people have, and they are locked up here!" So they were tried fairly and more than 2,000 people were released. The official kowtowed and advised: "In the early days of the imperial government, the governor of the state was very strict. It is indeed the heart of a benevolent person to forgive the criminals. However, if you are the only one who does this, will you regret it?" Cui Xiang said: "Gong Zhu Wen will not change for one person. The gentleman said that he knew his destiny, and that he would be willing to kill a large Yin to redeem two thousand people." So he said he was ill and left.

In the early years of Jianwu, the imperial court recommended many people, and the governor of Youzhou also recommended Cui Peng as a virtuous person. Cui Xiang felt ashamed that his clan was favored by Wang Mang, so he resigned and refused to serve as an official. Living as a guest in Xingyang, he closed his door and reflected, and wrote sixty-four chapters of "Zhou Yi Lin", which was used to determine good and bad luck, and many of them were used for predictions. Before his death, he wrote a poem to express his condolences, called "Comfort". Cui Heng gave birth to Cui Yi, who became invisible due to illness. Cui Yi gave birth to Cui Xiang. At the age of thirteen, he was proficient in the Classics, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Annals. He was erudite and talented. He understood the exegesis of hundreds of schools of thought, both ancient and modern, and could write articles. When he was young, he traveled to Taixue and became as famous as Ban Gu and Fu Yi. He often makes his career by studying classics, not to mention being an official. At that time, some people ridiculed him for being too mysterious and quiet, and he would lose his reputation in the future.

Cui Xiang imitated Yang Xiong's "Jie Mo" and wrote "Da Zhi" to reply to them. During the Yuanhe period, Emperor Suzong practiced ancient rituals and visited Fang Yue. Cui Xiang wrote "Ode to the Four Patrols" to praise the Han Dynasty. The diction is very elegant, but there are too many words so I won't record it here. The emperor is always good at writing, and after reading Cui Xiang's ode, he often sighed. He asked his attendant Dou Xian, "Do you know Cui Xiang?" He replied, "Ban Gu told me many times about him, but I didn't see him." The emperor said, "You like Ban Gu but ignore Cui Xiang. This is because Ye Gong is a good man." Please see him." Cui Xiang greeted Dou Xian. Dou Xian hurriedly put on his shoes and greeted Ma Yin at the door. He smiled and said to Ma Yin, "Tingbo, I am making friends with you under the emperor's order. You won't treat me badly, right?" Then he bowed to Ma Yin and became a guest. Not long after staying, the emperor came to Dou Xian's house. Cui Xiang was at Xian's house at that time. The emperor heard about it and wanted to summon him. Dou Xian dissuaded him, thinking that he should not meet the man in white. The emperor understood and said, "I can make Cui Xiang stay by my side day and night, why bother here!" Just when he was about to ask him to be an official, the emperor passed away. When Empress Dowager Dou came to court, Dou Xian used his relatives as cashiers to receive orders. Cui Xiang wrote a letter to warn: "Ma Yin has heard that it is foolish to have a shallow friendship and speak deeply; to expect a noble person from a lowly position is to be confused; to accept good advice without believing it is to slander. None of the three are suitable, but I want to give it a try. I just want to imitate others, but I can't stop myself from being angry. I have seen in private that the lady has a pure and graceful attitude, a good attitude, a beautiful mind, and a noble demeanor. I am in the back row, so I try my best to say something.

"The ancients said: 'Those who are born rich are proud, and those who are born noble are proud. ’ There is no one who can be born into wealth and not be proud. Now that favors are rising, and hundreds of officials are watching, in the prosperous age of Yao and Shun, in the most glorious period, how can we not spend a few days in the morning and evening, so that the reputation of everyone can last, promote the reputation of Shen Bo, and achieve the achievements of Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong? As the old saying goes: "If there is no trouble, there will be no position; if there is trouble, it will be established." ’ (Translation: Don’t worry about not having status, just worry about not being benevolent and righteous.) In the past, King Feng Ye’s relatives held high positions and were called virtuous ministers; recently, the Yin Weiwei restrained himself and returned to etiquette, and finally got many blessings.

The ancestors of the Tan family are not disrespectful, and the Yangping clan is not prosperous. The important princes built Tianshu and held the handle of the battle (referring to the nine princes and five major commanders of the Wang family, who controlled the power of the country). Why was he ridiculed at that time, especially in later generations? Just because he is full but not full, he has more than enough position but not enough benevolence and righteousness. After the rise of the Han Dynasty, during the reigns of Emperor Ai and Emperor Ping, there were only four members of the ancestral family of twenty, and the entire Bao clan. "Shu Jing" says: "In view of the Yin Dynasty." ’ (Note: Yin Shang is used as a mirror) Isn’t it prudent? "The rise of the Dou family began with Emperor Xiaowen.

The eldest and younger lords were honest and upright, and became famous the day before yesterday; Dou Rong, the Marquis of Anfeng, showed his virtue by supporting orders and showed himself to be rejuvenated. Internally, he was loyal. Self-reliance, self-preservation by external methods, and finally enjoying the glory of the country, the blessings are still there. The light of modesty and virtue is praised in the Book of Changes; the position of overflowing is the warning of Taoism, so the gentleman is more cautious when he is blessed, and he is prosperous. The more respectful you are, the more you look at the distance and the higher the pitch, the more rules you can follow. If you work hard and carefully, you will have endless blessings." Dou Xian became the general of chariots and cavalry, and he summoned Cui Xiang to serve as a courier. The Xian Mansion was noble and had thirty people, all of whom were former governors and had two thousand stones. Only Cui Heng, who was a young scholar, was promoted among them. Dou Xian was arrogant and unbridled in his power, but Cui Cheng tried to dissuade him many times. When the Xiongnu attacked, there were more illegal things on the road. Cui Xiang took charge of the book and recorded it dozens of times, pointing out the pros and cons. Dou Xian couldn't tolerate it and alienated him slightly. Because Cui Xiang was born in Gaodi, he asked him to be the magistrate of Changling County. Cui Xiang thought that he was not satisfied with his departure, so he returned home without receiving his official position. In the fourth year of Yongyuan (92), he died at home. 2. Guo Dan, courtesy name Shaoqing, classical Chinese reading questions and answers

Guo Dan, courtesy name Shaoqing, was born in Nanyang.

My father was young. When he became emperor, he was the prefect of Lujiang and had a clear name. Dan was orphaned at the age of seven, and he was careful and filial. His stepmother took pity on him and bought him clothes and property.

Later, he studied under Chang'an and bought talismans and entered Hangu Pass. He sighed with emotion: "If Dan doesn't ride in the messenger's carriage, he will never get out of the pass." After arriving in the capital, he often gave lectures to the capital and was respected by all the scholars. .

Da Sima Yanyou asked for elixir, but he could not get rid of his illness. Wang Mang conquered them again, and fled to the north with everyone else.

In the second year of Gengshi, the Three Dukes selected Dan Xian as an admonishment official. He returned to Nanyang as an envoy to accept surrender. It has been twelve years since Dan left home, and he came out of the customs in a high-speed train, just as he had planned.

Gengshi was defeated, and all the generals returned to Guangwu (Liu Xiu), and were awarded titles. Dan alone kept the Ping family intact, and mourned for Gengshi, and he mourned his decline. In the second year of Jianwu's reign, he fled and traveled around in his clothes, going through dangers and dangers. He asked to see his wife, and she was given a biography because she returned to her hometown.

The prefect Du Shi asked him to serve as a meritorious officer, and Dan Jian, an elder from the village, left on his behalf. The poem sighed and said: "In the past, when the Ming Dynasty king Xinghua, the ministers gave up the throne, now the meritorious Cao Cao recommends the virtuous, which can be said to be the most virtuous.

The imperial edict was compiled in Huangtang with Dan matters as a later method." Thirteen years , the great Sima Wu Han was promoted to a high position, and then moved to merge with the state as a pastoralist, and was known as Qingping.

Transferred the envoy to the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and moved to Zuo Feng Yi. In the third year of Yongping, he replaced Li Yu as Situ.

He was honest, upright and fair in court, and was as famous as Hou Ba, Du Lin, Zhang Zhan and Guo Ji. In the fourth year, Deng Rong, the governor of Longxi, was sitting in the examination and had nothing to prove, so he was dismissed.

Five years later, he died at home at the age of eighty-seven. 3. Translation of the classical Chinese text "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Cai Yong"

Emperor Yuan was ill in his later years. Prince Dingtao Gong was very favored by Emperor Yuan at that time, but Shi Xian supported the crown prince very actively and forcefully.

After Emperor Yuan died and Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, he transferred Shi Xian to Changxin Palace as a servant with an official salary of two thousand dan. After Shi Xian lost his support and within a few months of losing power, the prime minister and censor listed Shi Xian's previous crimes to the emperor, and his accomplices Lao Liang and Chen Shun were dismissed from office.

Shi Xian, his wife and son returned to their hometown. They were worried and unable to eat, and died on the road. Those who used to flatter Shi Xian and obtain official positions were all dismissed.

Wulu Chongzong of the Shaofu was demoted to be the prefect of Xuantu, and Yijia, the censor Zhongcheng, was demoted to the captain of Yanmen. A new ballad circulated in Chang'an: "The wild geese migrate, the deer migrates to the dodder, and I go to prison to be with Chen Shiwujia."

Chunyu Chang, whose courtesy name was Ziru, was a native of Yuancheng, Wei County. When he was a child, he served as a Huang Menglang because he was the son of the Empress Dowager's sister, but he was not promoted to an official position and was not favored.

It happened that General Wang Feng fell ill. Chun Yuchang served Wang Feng very seriously and helped Wang Feng morning and night, thus forging a relationship with his nephew and uncle. Before Wang Feng died, he entrusted Chunyu Chang to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

The emperor praised Chun Yuchang for his loyalty and worshiped him as Lieutenant and Zhucao. He later moved to Shuiheng Duwei Shizhong, and later to Weiwei Jiuqing. After some time, Tsang Feiyan became deeply favored by the emperor, who wanted to make her his queen. However, the Queen Mother saw that she was of low origin and objected to making Feiyan his queen.

Chun Yuchang specially sent a message on behalf of the emperor to Shu Palace, where the Queen Mother was. More than a year later, Tsang Feiyan was made empress. The emperor was very excited about Chun Yuchang's efforts, so he commended Chun Yuchang for the palace he had built before. Xia Shao said: "Originally, the great craftsman Jie Wannian petitioned for the construction of Changling, which exhausted the people of the world. Chun Yuchang, the imperial guard Wei, repeatedly stated that the migration of people should be stopped and allowed to return to their original residence. I Chun Yuchang's words were communicated to the ministers for discussion, and everyone agreed with Chunyu Chang's strategy.

Chun Yuchang proposed a good strategy from the beginning, so the people were relieved of hardship and gained peace. He was named Marquis of Guannei." Later, Chun Yuchang was granted the title of Marquis of Dingling. He was trusted and reused by the emperor. Chun Yuchang's wealth exceeded that of the ministers at that time.

Chunyu Chang made friends with princes, herders, and guards outside. The rewards he received from the emperor and the money given to him by princes, herders, and guards to please him totaled tens of millions. He married many beautiful wives and concubines, Shen? In the face of sexual pleasure, they do not abide by the laws and regulations of the country and do whatever they want.

At first, Queen Xu committed a crime because she believed in witchcraft and was deposed as queen and thrown into Changding Palace. At that time, Queen Xu’s sister Xu Wei was the wife of Long Esihou. Hou is dead and is living as a widow at home. Chunyu Chang took the opportunity to have an affair with Xu Marry and married her as a side wife.

Empress Xu saw that Chun Yuchang was favored by the emperor, so she bribed Chun Yuchang through her sister, Madam Xu, hoping that Chun Yuchang would put in a good word for her in front of the emperor, so that she could get out of the cold palace and resume her career. Returned to the harem as Jieyu. Chunyu Chang accepted the money, carriages, horses, clothes for riding, and tools for driving from Empress Xu, which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars. Chun Yuchang deceived Empress Xu and said that he would explain to the emperor that he would re-establish her as Queen Zuo. .

Every time Marry Xu went to Changding Palace, Chun Yuchang would write letters to Aunt Xu, teasing and insulting Queen Xu, and saying all kinds of profane and contemptuous words. Empress Xu and Chun Yuchang exchanged letters with each other, and Empress Xu bribed Chun Yuchang and Chun Yuchang every year. At this time, the emperor's uncle Quyanghou Wanggen was appointed as the Grand Sima Hussar General and had been assisting the government for several years. He had been ill for a long time and so many times. Ask the emperor to resign and retire.

Chun Yuchang assumed the official position of Jiuqing by virtue of his status as a relative of the emperor; in order, Chun Yuchang could hold the position. Wang Mang, the son of Wang Gen's brother, the Marquis of Xindu, was worried that Chunyu Chang would be favored. He heard privately that Chunyu Chang had married Xu Marry as his mistress, and had taken a large amount of bribes from Queen Xu, who had been thrown into the Changding Palace.

Wang Mang was serving Wang Gen, the Marquis of Quyang, who was ill, so he took the opportunity to say: "Chun Yuchang was secretly happy when he saw you were sick. He thought that as soon as you died, he could take your place and assist in the government; he had even arranged for someone to be appointed at home. A person serves as a certain official." Wang Mang exposed Chun Yuchang's crimes to Wang Genlinwei.

After Wang Gen heard this, he became furious and said, "Since Chunyu Chang is such a bad guy, why didn't you tell me clearly earlier?" Wang Mang said, "I don't know what the general meant, so I didn't dare to tell him." Wang Gen said: "Go to the Empress Dowager quickly and report to her to make a decision."

Wang Mang immediately went to see the Empress Dowager and exposed Chunyu Chang's various crimes, arrogance and lewdness, and his attempt to replace Wang Gen in assisting the government. He led his aunt into the car and was extremely impolite. He secretly committed adultery with Queen Xu and accepted Queen Xu's property. After hearing this, the Queen Mother became furious and said: "This nephew of mine is so bad! Go and report to the emperor truthfully."

Wang Mang also listed Chun Yuchang's sins to the emperor, and the emperor exempted him after hearing this. He removed Chunyu Chang from his official position and sent him to other princely states. At the beginning, Chunyu Chang served as a servant and acted as an envoy to convey messages between the emperor and the queen mother, and he was very close to them.

Hongyang Houli could not hold the post of Grand Sima and assist in government affairs, so he suspected that Chunyu Chang was obstructing him and slandering him in front of the emperor. Therefore, Hongyang Houli always felt resentful towards Chunyu Chang. . The emperor knew these circumstances.

When Chunyu Chang was sent away for his crime, Hongyang Houli's eldest son Rong followed Chunyu Chang and asked for a ride. Chunyu Chang bribed Hongyang Houli with rare treasures through Hongyang Houli's son Rong. , Hongyang Houli in turn spoke for Chunyu Chang. The emperor saw the great change in Hongyang Houli's attitude and knew that there must be something fishy, ??so he sent relevant departments to investigate the matter.

Officials captured Rong, and Hongyang Houli forced Rong to commit suicide. The emperor became more suspicious that there must be serious treachery involved, so he ordered Chun Yu to be arrested and handed over to Shao Prison in Luoyang to investigate the case.

Chunyu Chang truthfully confessed that he was teasing Queen Xu of Changding Palace and wanted to re-establish Queen Zuo. Chunyu Chang rebelled and died in prison. Chunyuchang's wife and son were punished and exiled to Hepu.

If his mother is sent back to her hometown. Hongyang Houli was also sent out of Kyoto and went to the vassal states.

Because Chun Yuchang lost power, dozens of generals, ministers, officials, and county governors related to him in the court were dismissed from office. Wang Mang then replaced Wang Gen as the Grand Sima.

Not long after, Chun Yuchang's mother and her son Chun Yuchou were moved back to Chang'an. Later, Chun Yuchou committed a crime, and Wang Mang killed him and sent his family members home. At first, Chunyu Chang was close to the emperor because of his status as a relative, but he was not as favored as Fuping Hou Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang often went out and lived together with the emperor. He was with the emperor. 5. At the beginning, when he became emperor, he also established Yudi Jing as King Dingtao. Classical Chinese Reading

In the early days, when he became emperor, he established Yudi Jing as King Dingtao. Guangqi Hou Xun passed away, his posthumous title was Yanghou, and his son showed heir. Emperor Ping died and had no children. Wang Mang made his son Ying a child, and made Emperor Ping his queen. He recklessly usurped the throne and made the infant the Duke of Ding'an. After the Han Dynasty had killed Mang, Ying was in Chang'an during the Gengshi period. Pingling Fangwang and others knew a lot about astronomy, so they thought Gengshi would be defeated and that Ying Bentong should be the one to establish the throne. So he raised troops and took Ying to Linjing to establish him as the emperor. Gengshi sent Prime Minister Li Song to defeat the infanticide cloud.

At the beginning, when he became emperor, Liu Jing, Liu Yu's younger brother, was appointed King of Dingtao. When Liu Xun, Marquis of Guangqi, died, Mi was named Yanghou, and his son Liu Xian succeeded him. Emperor Ping died without a son, so Wang Mang made Liu Xian's son Liu Ying his son, who succeeded Emperor Ping.

Wang Mang usurped the throne and made Liu Ying the Duke of Ding'an.

After Wang Mang was executed in the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was in Chang'an during the Gengshi period. Fang Wang and others from Pingling knew the astronomical phenomena very well and believed that the Gengshi Emperor would definitely fail, and Liu Ying should be established as emperor according to the imperial line

people sent troops together to bring Liu Ying to Linjing and established him as emperor. Emperor Gengshi sent Prime Minister Li Song to defeat them and kill Liu Ying. 6. Classical Chinese reading: Shentu Gang was given the courtesy name Juqing

The original text of the Biography of Shentu Gang in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Shentu Gang was given the courtesy name Juqing and was a native of Maoling, Fufeng.

The seventh generation Zujia was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Wen. Rigid and straight, he often admires history and Ji An.

A meritorious official in the county. During the reign of Emperor Ping, Wang Mang was in dictatorship and the court was full of suspicions, so he isolated the Feng and Wei clans from the emperor's family, and they were not allowed to interact with each other, and they were often ill.

And to promote the virtuous and upright, because of the countermeasures: I heard that if the king did something wrong, the gods would be resentful, and the evil would disturb the good, so the yin and yang were wrong. The reason why the heaven condemned the king today was to make the unjust king, Kuang. However, when you wake up, you will be a minister who harbors evil intentions, and you will be afraid of him. Today, the imperial court does not examine the school's merits and morals, but only accepts reputations and reputations. It issues several edicts, establishes strict laws, suppresses slander, and prohibits discussion. Those who commit serious crimes may even be cut in half.

It hurts the feelings of loyal ministers, frustrates the sharpness of straight men, builds a banner of good deeds, a drum for county daring to remonstrate, opens up the four gates, and makes clear the meaning of the four eyes. I heard that the king was young and the Duke of Zhou was acting as regent. He was not virtuous when he heard what he was saying. He had equal power and favor from the market. There was nothing old and nothing new. He was only benevolent and loved. He acted in accordance with the heaven and earth and did not fail to act.

However, if you are close, Duke Zhao will be displeased, and if you are far, there will be rumors from the four countries. The nature of husband, son and mother is the closest relative of heaven.

The Holy Lord is now a young boy, and has only just been spared from swaddling clothes. Since he came to the throne, close relatives have been separated, and foreign relatives have been separated, and kindness has not been able to pass through. Moreover, under the system of the Han family, although there are talented people, they still support relatives by marriage.

There is a mix of closeness and sparseness, and there is a gap between Dusseldorf and Dusseldorf. This is why we should build the ancestral temple and attach great importance to the country. Today, Feng and Wei are not guilty, they have not been recorded for a long time, or they are in a poor and remote place, and they are not as good as the common people. This is not the meaning of kindness, loyalty, filial piety and inheritance.

Its consideration. Today's Baofu is not the ancient Duke of Zhou.

The Duke of Zhou is still a saint, but he is still tired, let alone those who do things the wrong way and do not conform to the will of heaven! In the past, the Duke of Zhou sent Bo Qin to guard the title of Lu in advance. He showed his righteousness and kindness and did not favor his queen, so he was worshiped in the suburbs of Tianjiao for more than thirty generations. Huo Guang was in charge of the government, assisted the young master, and was a good scholar. He was named Zhongzhi. He respected his clan and party, suppressed his relatives, formed noble families and held power, and was extremely strong. In the end, he was destroyed by disaster.

The masters of today and now are all in the position of Yi and Zhou, and they are responsible for the virtuous protection. If they think about it this way, why not achieve great results? If you don't think about the danger, why not do it? At the time of profit and loss, Confucius sighed and kept the full precepts, which was what Lao Shi was cautious about. The one who conquers the world with great achievements is restless, and the one who impresses the master is incomplete.

After the decline and chaos of today, and the era of heavy poverty, the public family has been exhausted, the wealth has been reduced, the harsh officials have taken away the time, the greedy husband has invaded the wealth, the people are sleepy, and they have died of illness and disease. The thieves, numbering in the tens of thousands, marched in mass, stole the name and established themselves, attacked the capital, burned the counties and towns, and even made false accusations and accumulated crossbows into the palace, frightening the guards.

Since the rise of Han Dynasty, there has been no such thing as sincerity. The country is weak, treacherous plots are endless, and the effects of the six extremes are in danger.

The king obeys the heaven and the earth, and the nobility is in charge of punishment. He dare not use the heavenly official to privately own his clan, and dare not use the heavenly punishment to lighten his relatives. Your Majesty should follow the virtues of the sage and be enlightened, tell the story of the emperor from afar, and observe the filial piety in the near future. Send five ranks of subordinates to accept the order of the closest relatives. Urgently send an envoy to conquer the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, place her in a separate official, and order her to see you in due course.

He also summoned the Feng and Wei clans, cut them off from redundant positions, and made them hold halberds and personally serve as guards to prevent them from happening, so as to suppress the source of disaster, secure the country at the top, and protect Fu at the bottom. , be with relatives inside, and avoid evil plots outside. According to the book, Mang ordered Empress Yuan to issue an edict: "I just heard that the eccentric scriptures were spoken in vain, and it violated the righteousness.

He was dismissed and returned to the fields." After Mang usurped the throne, he fled to Hexi and moved to Ba and Shu. , have been in contact for more than 20 years.

Kuixiao occupied Longyou and wanted to betray the Han and attached himself to Gongsun Shu. Just said: "I have heard that where a man returns, he is given by heaven, and where man is by his side, he is taken away by heaven."

Fu Nian, this dynasty, bows to his saintly virtues, raises righteous soldiers, and carries out heaven's punishment, which is what he must do. Destruction is the blessing of sincerity, which cannot be achieved by manpower. A general has no land and is isolated. He should be sincere and obedient, work together with the court, respond to the will of heaven, and serve the country well.

The saint will never do anything suspicious. With the general's authority and being thousands of miles away, how can he be careless in his actions? Now that the seal has been counted, the country has come to trust, and I want to share the good and bad luck with the general.

People in commoner clothes still have the faith to live up to their promises, how much more so than those who are in ten thousand chariots! What is there to be afraid of now and what is the advantage? I have doubted this for a long time? There was an extraordinary change in the death. The superior was unfaithful and filial, and the inferior was unworthy of the world. A prophecy made before the arrival is always empty, and even after it has arrived, there is nothing that can be done. Therefore, the faithful words are used as advice, hoping to be put to use.

I sincerely wish to repeat the foolish old words. "Xiao didn't accept it, so he continued to describe it.

In the seventh year of Jianwu's reign, an edict was issued to levy force. When he was about to return, he wrote to Xiao and said: "If you are ignorant, you will be lonely if you only focus on yourself, and if you refuse advice, you will be blocked. The government is the wind of national subjugation.

Although he has the appearance of a wise sage, he still bends himself and obeys the crowd, so he does not leave any plan behind and does nothing wrong. Husband, the sage does not regard his only view as his enlightenment, but regards all things as his mind.

Those who obey others will prosper, and those who go against others will perish. This is the essence of ancient and modern times. The general's plan of using commoners as civilians was favored by the villagers. He did not plan for the temple to be planned, nor did he mobilize the army to mobilize the masses, nor did he plan for it in advance.

Nowadays, the political and religious affairs in the East are in harmony and the people are safe. However, when troops are sent out in Xizhou, everyone is worried, turbulent and frightened. No one dares to speak out. The masses are doubtful and worried. If you don't have an elite mind, you will be in trouble everywhere.

If you are poor, things will change. If things are urgent, your plans will be difficult. This is the trend. There has never been a man in ancient and modern times who could have a country and a family despite being deviant from morality and against human nature.
