Emperor Sejong Hyomu was in the first year of the establishment of the first year. Winter October. Under the edict, the emperor raised the virtuous and upright, and the emperor personally asked questions on the topic of ancient and modern governance.

More than 100 people came to participate in the countermeasures. Guangchuan Dong Zhongshu countermeasures and said: "The Tao is followed by the way of governance.

Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music are all props for governance. Therefore, although the Holy King is gone, and the descendants can live in peace for hundreds of years, this is the work of etiquette and education.

There is no one who does not want to survive, and there are too many people who are actually in danger of political chaos and the country, this is because the way used by non-people is not its right path, it is to destroy the national government day by day, and the Zhou Dao is declining in the dark, not that the Zhou Dao is declining, but because the Youli is not a person who keeps the Tao.

As for King Xuan, because he missed the legacy of the previous kings, he made up for the shortcomings and affirmed the merits of civil and military affairs, and Zhou Dao was revived.

This is due to the unremitting efforts to do good all night, Confucius said, people can promote the Tao, not the Tao to promote the goodness of people.

Therefore, it is up to oneself to control chaos and abolish prosperity, and it is not a matter of heaven, and it cannot be reversed, otherwise, the argument it holds is paradoxical.

Lose its legitimacy. Those who are kings are righteous in their hearts and are righteous in the court, and they are righteous in the court. Hundreds of officials are righteous, and all the people are right.

All the people are in the right direction. The Quartet is square, and the near and far dare not be unified in the positive. In this way, there will be no evil spirits in the midst of it.

It is the wind and rain in the yin and yang tones. The multitude was made peace, and the nations were multiplied. All kinds of blessings and auspicious things that can be sought will come as they come.

And at this time, the royal road has reached its peak. Confucius said: If the phoenix bird does not come, the river does not come out of the map, and the Tao I pursue has been exhausted.

Self-pity can lead to this thing, but self-inferiority cannot lead to it. Now Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and rich from all over the world. According to the position, the momentum of the operation, and the ability to cause, the line is high and gracious, wise and beautiful.

If you love the people and are good people, you can be called a friendly master. However, heaven and earth have not responded, and beauty has not come, why is this?

This is because the indoctrination is not established, and the people are not right. The pursuit of profit by all the people is like the flow of water, and if it is not guarded by edification, it cannot be prevented from going down.

The ancient kings understood this truth, and ruled the world in the south, and they all took education as their main task. Litai learned to teach in the country, and set up the order to transform in the city.

Let the people gradually accept the education of benevolence and righteousness, and understand the principle of mutual respect and love. Then the people were courteous, so the punishment was very light, just to forbid people not to break the law.

When the education is done, the customs will become beautiful. The holy king inherits the troubled times, sweeps away its old traces and then removes all the parts that are not in accordance with the religion, and then respects the education, the education has been clear, the customs have been established, and the descendants have not been defeated at the age of five or six hundred because of their observance.

Qin destroyed the way of the ancestors, and died in 14 years for the rule of reluctance. Its poisonous remnants have not been extinguished to this day.

The customs are weak and the people are arrogant, and in private they make an analogy, just like the piano is out of tune, and even has to change its tune.

Then you can drum. It is not possible to do it for the sake of government, and even it must be changed and changed in order to straighten out the chaotic government.

Therefore, since the Han Dynasty won the world, they often wanted to get the way to govern, but so far they have not been able to get it. This is lost because it should be changed but not changed.

The minister heard that the holy king ruled the world, and when he was young, he looked for experience from school, and when he was old, he would be able to be in place.

Therefore, its people know the etiquette and shame on it, the king of Wu is righteous and peaceful thieves, and the Duke of Zhou is a ritual and music, so as to write it.

As for Chengkang Xinglong, he has been in prison for more than 40 years. This is also the reason why indoctrination is practiced and benevolence and righteousness are widely spread.

In the Qin Dynasty, this was not the case. Learn from the law of Shen Shang and practice Han Fei's theory. Those who hate the way of the emperor, who are greedy and ruthless, who are punished but do not find out the truth, cannot be exempted from doing good, and those who commit evil may not be punished.

Therefore, all officials are pretending to be empty words and not pragmatic. There is a gift on the outside, and a heart on the back. Falsification and deception, profit-seeking shamelessness, so the punishment is very heavy, the dead look at each other, and the treacherous continues.

This is a result of vulgarization. Now Your Majesty has the world, and you can't do it. And if the merit is not added to the people, is it because the king's heart has not been added?

Zeng Tzu said that if you respect what you hear, you will become wise. Do what you know, and you will magnify yourself. Wisdom and brightness are not about anything else, but about how much you understand.

May Your Majesty quote what you have heard and practice it with sincerity, how is it different from the Three Kings? I usually don't like the monk but ask for the virtuous, just like not cutting the jade and wanting to be literate, the highest state of the monk is nothing more than Taixue.

Taixue is the birthplace of the Magi and the source of education. Nowadays, with the people of one county and one country, and seeking virtuous literature, this is a manifestation of the loss of the royal road.

I hope that Your Majesty will prosper Taixue and place famous teachers to support the people of the world. Count the questions to make the best use of your talents. then handsomeness should be available.

Today's county guard county order is the commander of the people, and His Majesty uses them to inherit the stream and Xuanhua. Therefore, if the teacher is not virtuous, the master will not declare his virtue, and the grace will not flow.

Today's officials do not know the lessons of their subordinates, so they may not accept the law of the Lord, tyrannize the people, become traitors, and be poor, lonely, weak, and relain in their duties.

It is not even worthy of Your Majesty's intentions. Therefore, yin and yang are wrong, and the atmosphere is congested. The masses are widowed, and the people are not helped. It's all because the chief officials don't know.

Most of the chief officials are from the middle of the Lang and the middle of the Lang and the 2,000 children, and the selection of the Lang officials is rich and wealthy, not necessarily virtuous. The ancients judged merit and judged the merits of the officials.

It's not something that accumulates. Therefore, although the small talent is tired, he is not separated from the petty official. Although the talent has not been for a long time, it is not harmful to assist.

Therefore, there are divisions who try their best to manage their work and do their best, but this is not the case today. Accumulate days to gain wealth, accumulate for a long time to become officials.

It is to create chaos with shame, and to mix virtue with disdain. Not true. The ministers foolishly thought that the princes and counties should guard 2,000 stones, and each of them should choose his own virtuous people, and pay tribute to two people each to give to the guards.

And look at the power of the ministers in this way. Those who pay tribute to the sages are rewarded, and those who are disdainful are punished. In this way, the officials will do their best to seek talents, and the people of the world can become officials.

If you win the sages all over the world, the prosperity of the three kings will be easy to achieve. His Majesty can also get the name of Yao Shun.

Don't take the sun and the moon as the merit, you should try the meritocracy, measure the material and award the official, and record the virtue and position. then the shame is different, and the virtuous and the disdainful are different.

The ministers heard that the small number of people became a lot, and the accumulation of small became huge. Therefore, the saints are all from the subtle to the obvious, Yao is born in the princes, and Shun is in the deep mountains.

It didn't come out in a day. They are all gradually becoming virtuous from small to great, and finally becoming apparent. Words and deeds are the general body of governance, and the gentleman is the reason why he moves the heavens and the earth, so the small ones are big, and the cautious ones are written.

Accumulating goodness in the body is like increasing strengths every day without knowing it. The accumulation of evil in the body is like fire that burns oil and no one can see it.

This is the reason why Tang Yu got his name, and the reason why his trip was terrifying. Therefore, happiness without chaos, repetition without getting tired can be called Tao.
