The king said, "Why can't I give it up when I know it's incompetent?" Said, "Ren Xian is the king of the country, and he will be humble more than respect, and humble more than sorrow. Can you be careless with him? Both left and right are virtuous, and cannot be done; Doctors are all virtuous, not for; People in China all say that they are virtuous, so observe and see how virtuous they are, and then use them. If both sides say no, they won't listen; All doctors say no and don't listen; People in China say no, then observe it, see it, and then go.
Both sides can kill, don't listen; All doctors said they could kill, but they didn't listen; People in China say that if you can kill, you can kill it. Then, look around and see what you can kill, and then kill it. So, the people of China killed it. So, then you can be a parent. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "What is the reason?" Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Said, "Can I kill my monarch?" As the saying goes, "a good thief is a thief, a righteous thief is a remnant, and a remnant thief is a husband." I have heard of killing my husband, but I have never heard of killing the king. "
Qi people defeated Yan and won. King Xuan asked, "Either I don't take it or I take it. Take the country of Wancheng and cut the country of Wancheng, and lift it at the age of 50. Manpower is not here, and there will be disaster if we don't take it.
Here, what? Mencius said to him, "If you take it, Yan Minyue likes it, just take it. In ancient times, there were people who did things, and the king of Wu also. Take it, Yan Min is not happy, so don't take it. In ancient times, there were people who did things, and Wen Wang also. How can he defeat Wan Guo and take Wan Guo to see Julian Waghann? Avoid fire and water. "
Qi people take Yan, and the princes save it. Wang Xuan said, "How do you treat those who try to attack me?" Mencius said to him, "I heard that soup is also true for those who rule the world for seventy miles." Never heard of people who are afraid of thousands of miles. The book says,' Tang Yizheng began in Ge.' The world believes, the East signs, the West complains, the South signs, and the North complains.
Say, "I'm the queen?" The popularity of the people is like a drought, and so is Yun Ni. If it rains, people will be very happy. The book says,' Later, it was the Soviet Union.' Today, Yan abused his people, and Suo Luo Zheng did it. People thought they would save themselves from the mire and eat the meat in the pot to welcome Julian Waghann. If you kill his father and brother, it will be a burden to his children, destroy his ancestral temple and move his heavy weapons, so what?
The world is firmly afraid of the strength of Qi, which is twice as strong as benevolent government today. It is the soldiers who move the world. If the king gives an order soon to oppose it, stop its heavy weapons, look for Zhong Yan, set up a monarch, and then go, that will be enough. "
Translation:
Mencius called on Qi Xuanwang and said, "The so-called old country is not where there are trees, but when there are what I mean. You didn't kiss me. What was advanced in the past, I don't know why it died today. "
Wang said, "How could I realize his incompetence and give up?" He said, "The monarch appoints wise men. If he can't do it, he should be modest and relieve his sadness. Can he be careless? People around him say he is good, but he hasn't. Doctors say he is good, not bad; People all over the country say that he is good, and then examine him, find out what he has, and then use it. People around you say it's impossible and don't listen; The doctor said no and didn't listen; The people of the whole country said it was impossible, then inspected it, and it was impossible to appear, and then went.
People around you say you can kill, but don't listen; The doctor said that you can kill people, but you don't listen; People all over the country said they could kill him, then they inspected him, killed him when they saw him, and then killed him. So China killed it. Like this, then you can be the parents of ordinary people. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "Tang Fang valerian and Zhou Wuwang crusade against shang and zhou dynasties. How many people are there? Mencius replied, "It happened before." He said, "Can I kill my own monarch?" He said: "A virtuous thief is called a thief, a righteous thief is called a cripple, a cruel man, and he is a human being. "I heard that my husband was executed, but I didn't hear that I killed you."
Qi people cut Yan and win every battle. King Xuan asked, "I was told not to use it. Some people said I took it." Five days with the country of Wancheng and the Kuomintang of Wancheng. Human strength is impossible and undesirable, and there are unexpected events in the sky.
Yes, how about it? Mencius replied: "When it was annexed, the people of Yan were happy and took it away. The ancients did so, and so did King Wu. If the people of Yan are unhappy after the annexation, then don't use it. The ancients did so, and so did King Wen. What else is there to attack Wan Guo with Wan Guo and eat a pot of water to meet the enemy king's army? Avoid fire and water. "
Qi people are ready to attack Yan, and the princes will help each other. King Xuan said, "Many governors have plotted against me. What should we do with him? Mencius replied: "I heard that people who rule the world in seventy miles have the same soup." "I've never heard of anything that can scare others thousands of miles away. The book says:' The conquest of Shang Tang began in Ge.' Whoever believes will conquer the east, hate westerners, conquer the south and hate North Germany.
Say,' Why did I come later?' People seem to be looking forward to the drought in Yun Ni. Let the market continue, let the farmer remain the same, kill his monarch and sympathize with the people there. If it rains in time, people will be very happy. The book says, "Then he sued. Now Yan abuses the people. " The king went to conquer it, and people thought it would be saved from the hot water, so he came to meet it. What can you do if you kill his father and brother, imprison their children, destroy their ancestral temple and equip him with weapons?
The world was originally afraid of the strength of Qi, but now it has doubled without benevolent government. This is an army that touched the world. The king immediately ordered Ronnie, and on the other hand, only his important task was to plan to build your people in Yan State and leave. It's not too late to do so. "

Appreciation of Mencius Hui Liang Wang Xia;
First, diplomatic strategy; The second is the question of courage and courage.
Mencius used to talk about internal affairs. This time, Qi Xuanwang asked, "Is there any way to make friends with neighboring countries?" Directly led the problem to diplomacy. Mencius then expounded his diplomatic strategy.
To sum up, big countries want benevolent governance, not chauvinism and hegemonism of big countries, but friendly coexistence with small countries. On the other hand, small countries should be wise, not closed to the outside world, not arrogant, but should have good diplomatic relations with big countries. If these two aspects are achieved, then there will be a world peace pattern in which big countries stabilize the world and small countries stabilize the country.
The psychological basis for achieving these two aspects is that great powers take pleasure in destiny, conform to the virtue of "everything is born in heaven and earth", do not bully the weak, and uphold justice for heaven; Small countries fear and obey fate, and in order to safeguard their own survival, they are not enemies of big countries.
The fate here is not necessarily a mysterious understanding, but an international trend formed by history, geographical conditions and times.
The diplomatic strategy expounded by Mencius here is not profound, and the practices of big countries and small countries still have reference significance in later generations and even today.
