Mencius went to Qi and stayed in the day. Those who want to stay for the king, sit down.
No, hide a few and lie down.
Chen Changwen's interpretation:
Mencius finally decided to leave the State of Qi, walking slowly,
Because after all, King Qi could still understand Mencius, but he couldn't do it.
Therefore, there is a person who thinks that he can persuade Mencius and help the King of Qi to keep Mencius, so as to make a great contribution, perform in front of the King of Qi, and even be glorious and rich.
This is actually a lot of speculative villains, no ability, thoughts, always see the opportunity, go close to the big people to persuade the big people, want to make a profit.
Mencius stayed overnight in this place.
The man seized the opportunity and sat there reasoning, trying to persuade Mencius to stay.
This man did not represent the King of Qi, nor did he have anything to do with Mencius, nor did he understand Mencius, but he wanted to take Mencius to ask for merit and treat Mencius as a commodity.
Therefore, Mencius let him say that he just ignored him, and it was estimated that after a long time, he actually dozed off by the coffee table.
There's a story ahead,
It was Mencius and one of the treacherous ministers of the King of Qi on a business trip, and there was zero communication throughout the whole process.
Here, dozing off with this man,
It's all Mencius's way of behaving,
It's very interesting, I tell you, you don't understand, you don't know the origin of the matter, you can't help me,
You keep saying, and disturbing me,
Generally not a saint like Mencius, ordinary people will be disturbed by such people, even haojie, wise people, may also be disturbed,
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to isolate these people and ignore them.
With someone who doesn't understand, there's nothing to say.
