Mencius: If a king has a greater time, he will advise, and if he does not listen to it repeatedly, he will be transposed

---------------------------------

　King Xuan of Qi asked Qing. Mencius said, "Wang HeQing's question?" ”

King Xuan of Qi asked Mencius about the chancellor. Mencius said, "What kind of secretary is the king asking?" ”

Wang Yue: "Qing is different?" "Different." There are noble relatives, there are secretaries of different surnames. ”

King Xuan of Qi said, "Is there anything different about Qing Qing?" Mencius said, "It is different, there are royal clan secretaries, there are non-royal secretaries with different surnames." ”

Wang Yue: "Please ask your secretary of state." "If a king has a greater than a king, he will advise, and if he does not listen to it repeatedly, he will be transposed." The king suddenly changed color.

King Qi Xuan said, "Please ask the secretary of the royal family." Mencius said, "When the monarch has a great fault, they advise him, and if he does not obey the repeated advice, he will establish another monarch." ”

"The king is not different." The king asked the minister, and the subject did not dare not confront him. "Wang Se Ding, and then ask the secretary of the other surname."

King Qi Xuan's face suddenly became ugly. Mencius said, "Don't be surprised by the king, the king asked his subjects, and the ministers did not dare not answer with the truth." King Qi Xuan's face calmed down, and then he asked the non-royal secretary.

"If the king has advised, if he does not listen to it repeatedly, he will go." ”

Mencius said, "If the monarch is at fault, they will advise, and if they do not listen to the repeated advice, they will resign and leave." ”

Comment: The original meaning of the monarch and the father and son of the monarch and the subject must have the appearance of a monarch, the appearance of a courtier, the appearance of a father, and the appearance of a child. Mencius also said more thoroughly, saying that if a gentleman does not look like a gentleman, and the courtier repeatedly advises the monarch but does not listen, then such a monarch can overthrow him. This remark was so revolutionary that it was no wonder that King Xuan of Qi had to change his face when he heard it. What is even more precious is that Mencius said this in front of the monarch. Not bowing down is the integrity that a reader should have. And this kind of integrity, where can you still see it now?
