Mu Gongzheng: "Ah! My officials, listen, be quiet! I have something important to tell you. " There is an ancient saying: "If people only obey themselves, they will make more mistakes." It's not hard to blame others. It's hard to be accused by others, and it's hard to listen as smoothly as running water! The worry in my heart is that time has passed and I will not come back.

Past counselors said, "I can't obey my teaching"; Now the consultants, I would like to regard them as relatives. Even so, I'll consult the old blond man so that I won't make any mistakes.

Good men with white hair have no strength, so I'd better be closer to them. Brave and good at fighting, archery and driving, but I still don't like it very much. It's just those shallow and eloquent that make a gentleman easily confused. I'm too close to them!

I thought to myself, if there is an honest and clean official who is single-minded and has no other skills, his mind is broad and tolerant. Others have the ability, just like themselves. Others are beautiful and smart, and his heart likes him more than his verbal praise. This will not only accommodate people, but also protect my children and grandchildren, and it may be good!

Others are jealous and disgusted when they have the ability. Others are beautiful and wise, but they prevent him from leading to the monarch. This can't accommodate people, and it can't protect my children and grandchildren. It's also dangerous! The danger of the country is uneasy because of one person; The prosperity and stability of the country may be because of a person's kindness!
