Shield: "Not really." Shi Yue: "The son is zhengqing, who does not leave the country when he dies, who does not return to the thief, who is not the son?" Shield: "Woohoo! 'My own nostalgia, self-deprecation (Note 6)', what I mean! Confucius sighed: "Dong Hu, the ancient liangshi also, calligraphy (Note 7) is not hidden." Zhao Xuanzi, the Ancient Doctor of Liang, suffered evil for the Fa. To be evil is to be spared, and to cross the border is to be spared (Note 8). ”

【Notes】

(Note 5) History: Taishi, the official in charge of the code and chronicle in the Spring and Autumn Period, in charge of the six codes of the state. This refers to Dong Fox below.

(Note 6) My nostalgia, self-praise Yiqi: See "Poetry, Shaoguo, Xiongyan", which means that the sorrow in my heart was caused by myself. Y, Judah "is", "this", "this". Qi, worried, sad. The present "Mao Poem" is "obstruction", and the "Zuo Zhuan" is quoted as "Qi".

(Note 8) To be evil, to be spared, to cross the border is to be spared: Wang Su's note: "The shield does not cross the border to avoid ridicule, but is also subject to the responsibility of the king." It means that Zhao Xuanzi was notoriously a pity, and if he went out of the country at that time, he would have been spared notoriety.

【General Solution】

Confucius read the Jin Zhi and saw that Zhao Pu of the Jin Dynasty had killed the Duke of Jinling, and Zhao Dun was on his way to escape, and after hearing about this incident, he had not yet reached the border mountain and returned. The Taishi records that "Zhao Dun killed the monarch. Zhao Dun said, "Not so." Taishi said, "As Doctor Zhengqing, you fled without crossing the border, and when you came back, you didn't punish the murderer, who are you?" Zhao Dun said, "Hey! 'I have nostalgia, but I bring this sorrow to myself', that's me! Confucius sighed and said, "Dong Hu is a good historical official in ancient times, and he is not obscure according to the ritual law. Zhao Xuanzi, a good doctor in ancient times, suffered notoriety because of the Fadu. Unfortunately, if he had crossed the border at that time, he would have avoided notoriety. ”
