Obviously very strong but too timid

Zeng Zi asked, “The ministers and officials will prepare the corpse for the Duke, and they will receive the funeral rites overnight, but there is mourning in the mourning clothes. What should we do?” Confucius said, “When the corpse is taken out, it should be kept in the palace to wait for the funeral. This is the etiquette.” Confucius said, “When the corpse is taken out with a hat and a crown, the ministers, officials, and scholars should all get out of the way. The corpse must be arranged in a proper manner and must be led in front.” Zixia asked, “Is it the etiquette that the mourning period of three years is over and there is no need to avoid the funeral rites? Was there a supervisor at the beginning?” Confucius said, “The three-year mourning period of the Xia Dynasty was over, and the funeral rites were held after the funeral. The Yin people held the funeral rites after the burial. The Records says, ‘A gentleman does not deprive others of their relatives, and one should not deprive them of their relatives.’ Is this what it means?” Zixia said, “There is no need to avoid the funeral rites, is it not? Confucius said, "I heard Lao Dan say that Duke Boqin of Lu did it for a purpose. I don't know who is following the benefit of the three-year mourning period now!"

He replied, "Sages are knowledgeable, so they are hard to admire." Duke Yu was very pleased with the child's answer.

The Hidden Beauty of the East Palace

At first, Mars entered Taiwei and then moved to the west of the abandoned Hai. After Jianwen ascended the throne, he entered Taiwei again, which the emperor disliked. At that time, Xi Chao was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. He summoned Chao and said, "The Mandate of Heaven is short, so there is no need to calculate. Shouldn't the government keep away from recent events?" Chao said, "The Grand Marshal is currently strengthening the borders and protecting the country. He must not have such concerns. I, your Majesty, will guarantee it with my hundreds of people." The emperor then recited a poem by Yu Zhongchu, "Ambitious men grieve over the dangers of the court, loyal ministers mourn over the humiliation of their lord." His voice was very mournful. When Xi was granted leave to return to the east, the emperor said, "I pay my respects to you, my lord. The affairs of our country have come to this point! As a result, I am unable to protect the country with the right principles and to take precautions against potential disasters. I feel deeply ashamed and sighed. How can I express this?" He burst into tears.
