The only husband is the emperor of heaven

　　Pang Shiyuan of Nanjun heard that Sima Decao was in Yingchuan, so he traveled 2,000 miles to wait for him. When they arrived, they met Decao picking mulberry leaves. Shi Yuan said to him from inside the carriage, "I heard that a man should wear gold and purple when dealing with the world. How can he bend the flood and hold the silk women's affairs?" Decao said, "Get off the carriage for now. You know how to quickly go astray, and don't worry about losing your way. In the past, Bo Cheng worked in the fields with his wife, and did not envy the glory of the princes; Yuan Xian worked in the mulberry field, and was not interested in the official house. How can one sit in a luxurious house, ride a fat horse, and have dozens of maids, and then be extraordinary? This is why Xu and Fu were generous, and why Yi and Qi sighed for a long time. Even if one had stolen the title of Qin and had a wealth of thousands of horses, it would not be valuable enough!" Shi Yuan said, "I was born in a remote area, and I have rarely seen great principles. If you don't strike the loud bell or beat the thunder drum, you won't know their sound."

Zhongni said: "The gentleman is moderate, the villain is the opposite of the moderate. The gentleman's moderation is the gentleman who is moderate at times; the villain's moderation is the villain who is unscrupulous."

Thirty is not confused

Ziyun: "As for the father's hand, you can ride in his car but not wear his clothes. The gentleman uses this to expand filial piety." Confucius said: "The villain can all support their parents, but the gentleman is not respectful, how to distinguish?" Confucius said: "Father and son are not in the same position, so they are respectful." The Book of Documents says: "If you don't respect your ancestors, you will be disgraced." Confucius said: "When parents are alive, don't call them old, talk about filial piety but not kindness; inside the boudoir, play but don't sigh." The gentleman uses this to keep the people, and the people are still less filial and more kind. Confucius said: "The ruler of the people, the court respects the elderly, and then the people will be filial." Confucius said: "Sacrificial offerings have corpses, and they are the masters of the ancestral temples, which show the people that there is something to do. Repairing the ancestral temples and respecting the sacrifices are to teach the people to pursue filial piety." With this, the people still forget their parents.

The central army of Yin was headed by Yu Gong's chief secretary, who went to the capital and assembled with Prime Minister Wang. Duke Huan, Chief Secretary Wang, Wang Lantian and Xie Zhenxi were also present. The prime minister stood up, took off his tent and tied his fur coat, and said to Yin, "Today I will discuss the principles with you." They talked until three o'clock in the morning. The prime minister and Yin were on the same side, but the rest of the wise men had nothing to do with it. After the discussion, the Prime Minister sighed and said, "I have never known the source of the words I have said before, and the words and phrases are not wrong. The voice of Zhengshi is just right for you!" The next morning, Huan Xuanwu said to others, "I heard Yin and Wang Qing's words last night, which were very good. Injo was not lonely. I was also distracted from time to time. When I looked at the two Wang officials, I felt as happy as a newborn dog."

Wang Youjun and Xie Gong went to see Ruan Gong. When they reached the door, they said to Xie: "So we should jointly recommend the master." Xie said: "It is difficult to recommend the master."
