Legend of the Five Desolations

Qimen Qianwang

Xie Gong once went west with Xie Wan and passed by Wu County. A Wan wanted to go with Wang Tianxu, but the Taifu said, "I'm afraid he won't have to repay you, so he's not interested!" Wan still insisted, but the Taifu refused to change his mind, so Wan went alone. After sitting for a while, the king came in and thanked him with a very pleased look, thinking that he was being treated well. After a long time, he came out with his hair dishevelled, and did not sit down. He still sat on the couch in the middle of the courtyard, drying his hair in the sun, with an arrogant look on his face, and no intention of responding to the conversation. After thanking him, he returned. Before reaching the boat, he called out to the Grand Tutor. An said: "Achi will not do that!"

Boundless

Zi Zhang asked: "The Book of Documents says: 'Emperor Gaozong did not speak for three years, and he was happy when he spoke.' Is it true?" Zhongni said: "Why is it not true? In ancient times, when the emperor died, the crown prince listened to the prime minister for three years."

The strongest leader starts from signing in

Before leaving, Mr. Yu talked to Zhong about the future affairs and entrusted him with deep trust. Zhong said, "Whose fault is it when the pillars are broken and the rafters are falling?" Yu said, "Today's events cannot be discussed any more. You are the one who will restore the situation!" Zhong said, "I think you are worthy of being Xun Lin's father."

The Corpse Officer

Therefore, sincerity is endless, and if it is endless, it will last long, and if it lasts long, it will be far-reaching, and if it is far-reaching, it will be broad and thick, and if it is broad and thick, it will be high and bright. Broad and thick is the reason why it carries things; high and bright is the reason why it covers things; long and long is the reason why it creates things. Broad and thick is comparable to the earth, high and bright is comparable to the sky, and long and long is boundless. Such things are revealed without being seen, change without moving, and are accomplished without doing anything. The way of heaven and earth can be fully described in one word. It is not two-fold, so its creation of things is unpredictable. The way of heaven and earth is broad, thick, high, bright, long and long. Now the sky is so bright and numerous, and it is infinite. The sun, the moon, the stars and the planets are connected to it, and all things are covered by it. Now the earth is as much as a handful of soil. It is so vast and thick that it can carry Mount Hua without being heavy, and shake the rivers and seas without leaking, and all things are carried by it. Now, a mountain is as numerous as a roll of stone, and as vast as it is, vegetation grows on it, animals live in it, and treasures are accumulated there. Now, a water is as numerous as a spoonful, and as vast as it is unfathomable, turtles, crocodiles, dragons, fish and tortoises live there, and wealth is accumulated there. The Book of Songs says: "The mandate of Heaven is everlasting!" This is why Heaven is Heaven. "Invisible is the purity of King Wen's virtue!" This is why King Wen is Wen, and it is also pure.

The president is not cold.

The ministers of the lower states, who are appointed by their kings, are like the ministers of the smaller states. The great officials of the emperor are the three supervisors, who supervise the states of the princes. Their salaries are the same as those of the ministers of the princes, and their titles are the same as those of the kings of the lower states. Their salaries are taken from the land of the prefects. The prefects are the emperors, and they all have bathing towns within the emperor's counties, and they are regarded as the prime ministers. The princes' sons inherit their states, but the great officials do not inherit their titles. They are appointed by virtue, and they are given titles by merit. If they are not given titles, they are regarded as the prime ministers of the emperor and rule their states. The great officials of the princes do not inherit their titles and salaries.
