When Mencius saw Qi Xuanwang, he said, "The so-called motherland is not a tree, but a world minister. The king has no relatives and ministers. What the former entered, I don't know its death today. "

Wang said, "Why should I give him up when I know he is incompetent?" Said, "Ren Xian, the monarch of the country, will be more humble than honorable, and more humble than compassionate. Can you be careless with him? The left and right are all virtuous, but they can't be; All doctors are virtuous, but they can't be; Chinese people all say that they are virtuous, then observe them, see how they are virtuous, and then use them. Don't listen if you say no to both sides; All doctors say no, don't listen; Chinese people all say no, then observe it, see it, and then go.

if you say you can kill, don't listen; All doctors say that you can kill, but don't listen; Chinese people all say that you can kill, then examine it, see what you can kill, and then kill it. Therefore, the Chinese people killed it. In this way, you can then be a parent. "

Qi Xuanwang asked, "What are the reasons?" Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Say, "Can I kill my monarch?" The saying goes, "A thief who is kind is a thief, a thief who is righteous is disabled, and a thief who is disabled is a husband. I've heard of killing a husband, but I've never heard of killing a king. "

Qi people cut down the swallows and won them. King Xuan asked, "Either I don't take it or I take it. Take the country of Wancheng and cut the country of Wancheng, and lift it at the age of 5. Manpower is not here, and if we don't take it, there will be disasters.

how about taking it? " Mencius said to him, "Take it if it pleases Yan Min.". In ancient times, there were people who did things, and the king of Wu was also. Take it and yanmin is unhappy, then don't take it. In ancient times, there were people who did things, and the king of Wen was also. How can he defeat the kingdom of Wancheng with the kingdom of Wancheng to meet Julian Waghann? Avoid fire and water. "

The Qi people will take Yan, and the princes will try to save it. Xuanwang said, "How can you treat those who seek to attack me?" Mencius said to him, "I have heard that soup is also true for those who govern the world with seventy miles." I have never heard of people who are afraid of thousands of miles. The book says,' Tang Yizheng began with Ge.' Believe it in the world, levy it in the east, complain in the west, levy it in the south, and complain in the north.

said,' Do you think I'm behind you?' People's popularity is like a drought, so is Yun Ni. If it rains, the people will be happy. The book says,' Later, it was the Soviet Union.' Today, Yan abused its people, and Solo levied it. People thought that they would save themselves in from the mire and eat pot pulp to welcome Julian Waghann. If you kill his father and brother, it will be a burden to his children, destroy his ancestral temple and move his heavy weapons, so how can it be?

The world is strong and afraid of Qi, but now it is twice as powerful as benevolent government, which is a soldier who moves the world. If the king gives an order quickly, he will oppose it, stop its heavy weapon, seek for the yanzhong, set the monarch and then go, then it will be enough.

Translation:

Mencius' audience with Qi Xuanwang said: "The so-called old country does not mean that there are trees, but I mean it sometimes. You didn't kiss me. What was advanced in the past, I don't know the reason for its demise today. "

Wang said, "How did I realize his incompetence and give up?" He said: "The monarch appoints wise men. If he can't, he should be humble and relieve his sorrow. Can he not be cautious? People around say that he is good, but not yet; The doctors all said that he was good and not bad; People all over the country said he was good, and then they inspected him, found out what he had, and then used it. People around say it's impossible, don't listen; Doctors say no, don't listen; People all over the country said it was impossible, then inspected it, and it was impossible to appear, and then went.

people around you say you can kill, don't listen; Doctors say you can kill, don't listen; People all over the country said it could be killed, then they inspected it, killed it when they saw it, and then killed him. So the Chinese killed it. Like this, then you can be the parents of ordinary people. "

Qi Xuanwang asked, "How many did Tang Fang Jie and Zhou Wuwang crusade against Shang Zhou? Mencius replied, "It has happened before." He said, "Can I kill my own monarch?" He said: "a thief who is virtuous is called a thief, a thief who is righteous is called a disabled and cruel person, and he is a man." I heard that my husband was executed, but I didn't hear that I killed you. "

Qi people cut down the swallows, and they won. King Xuan asked, "I was told not to use it, and some people said I took it." It was held in five days with the country of Wan Cheng and the country of Wan Cheng. People's strength is impossible and undesirable, and there will be disasters in the sky.

yes, how about it? Mencius replied, "When it was annexed, the people of Yan were happy and took it. The ancients did this, so did King Wu. If the people of Yan are not happy after the annexation, then don't use it. The ancients did this, so did King Wen. Is there anything else to attack the kingdom of Wancheng with the kingdom of Wancheng and eat a pot of water to meet the king's army? Avoid fire and water. "

The people of the State of Qi are preparing to capture Yan and the vassal's rescue plan. King Xuan said, "Many governors plan to attack me. How shall we treat him? Mencius replied, "I heard that the soup is the same for people who rule the world with seventy miles." I've never heard of anything that scares others with thousands of miles. The book says:' Shang Tang's conquest began with Ge.' Whoever believes in the world conquers eastward, resents westerners, conquers southward, and resents northern Germany.

said,' Why did I come later?' People look like they are looking forward to Yun Ni in the drought. Keep the market going, keep the people who cultivate the land unchanged, kill his monarch and sympathize with the people there. If it rains in time, the people will be very happy. The book says: "Later he Sue. Now the Yan State mistreats its people. "Wang went to conquer it, and people thought that it would be saved from the hot water, so he came to meet Julian Waghann. If you kill his father and brothers, imprison their children, destroy their ancestral temples and equip him with weapons, what can you do?

The world was originally afraid of the power of Qi, but now it is redoubled without benevolent government. This is an army that moves the world. The king immediately ordered that Luo Ni, on the other hand, had only his important task, planned to set you up in the people of Yan State and left. It was not too late to do so.

comes from Mencius, one of the Four Books in the Warring States Period.

Appreciation of Mencius Liang Hui Wang Xia:

First, diplomatic strategy; The second is the problem of courage and courage.

Mencius' previous talk was mainly about internal affairs, but this time Qi Xuanwang asked, "Is there a way to make friends with neighboring countries?" Directly led the problem to diplomacy. Mencius then elaborated his diplomatic strategy.

to sum up, a big country should be benevolent, not chauvinism and hegemonism, but get along well with a small country. On the other hand, small countries should be wise, not close to the outside world, not arrogant, but should have good diplomatic relations with big countries. If these two aspects are achieved, then there will be a world peace pattern in which big countries stabilize the world and small countries stabilize the country.

The psychological basis for achieving these two aspects is that big countries take pleasure in destiny, conform to the virtue of "heaven and earth create everything", do not bully the weak, and do justice for heaven; Small countries fear destiny, obey destiny, and do not make enemies with big countries in order to safeguard their own survival.

The destiny here is not necessarily a mysterious understanding, but an international trend formed by history, geographical conditions and times.

The diplomatic strategy expounded by Mencius here is not profound, and the practices of big countries and small countries are still of reference significance in later generations and even today.
