original text

Wang Yue (1) said: "The Book of Songs says (2):' If a man has a heart, he can worry about it.' "Master also called. I did what I had to do, but I asked for it, not really. What the master said is of great concern to me. Why is this heart suitable for the king? "

Yue: "The King Fu said,' I am strong enough to lift a hundred kings [5], but not enough to lift a feather; Ming is enough to see the end of autumn [6]', not salary [7], so what about Wang Xu? "

Say, "No."

"This kind of elegance is enough to become a beast, but not a person. What is this? However, if you don't lift a feather, you won't exert yourself; If you can't see your salary, you don't need to be clear. If the people can't see it, you don't need kindness. Therefore, if the king is not king, he will not be king. "

Levies: "What's the difference between those who don't do it and those who can't do it?" Yue: "You can't cross the North Sea by riding Mount Tai. People say' I can't'. Folding branches for the elderly, people say' I can't', not for it, definitely not. Therefore, the king is not the king, not relying on Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea and so on; The king is not a king, but a broken branch or something. "

"I am old and people are old; Young people are young, and young people are young. The world can be transported in the palm of your hand. The poem says:' punishment is for widows, but for brothers, punishment is for the family.' I just added words to my heart. Therefore, kindness is enough to protect the whole world, but not kindness can't protect your wife. Ancient people were bigger than others because they were good at pushing themselves and others. Kindness today is enough for animals, but not enough for people. What's the only thing? "

"Right [16], and then know the weight; Degree, then know the length. Everything is natural, and the heart is what it is. Wang, please measure it! ⒄ Restrain Wang Xing to be a soldier, a dangerous minister, and blame the princes, and then make peace with them quickly? "

The king said, "no, how can I be fast enough?" I will seek what I want. "

Qi Xuanwang said happily, "The Book of Songs says,' I can guess what others are thinking.' That is to say, sir, please. I made it myself. On the other hand, I thought about why I did it, but I couldn't say why. Your family said it, and my heart suddenly opened up. But how do you understand that my mentality is consistent with the king of unifying the world with morality? "

Mencius said, "If someone comes to report to you,' I can lift three thousand pounds instead of one feather; "You can clearly see both ends of autumn hair with your eyesight, but you can't see a car of firewood in front." Your Majesty, will you believe him? "

Xuanwang said, "Of course not."

Mencius went on to say, "Now, Your Majesty, your kindness can be given to animals, but not to ordinary people. Why? " I can't afford a feather, because I don't want to use my strength to get it; I can't see a load of firewood because I don't want to see it with my eyes; The common people can't live and work in peace and contentment because the king is unwilling to show mercy. Therefore, your majesty, you have failed to unify the world with morality, but you are unwilling to do it, not impossible. "

King Xuan said, "What's the difference between unwilling and unable to do it?"

Mencius said, "When a person threatens Mount Tai and jumps into the North Sea, he says,' I can't do it.' This is really impossible. Let a man break a branch for the old man. The man told people,' I can't do it. This is unwilling to do, not impossible. Your majesty, you have not unified the world with morality. You don't belong to the category of leaping over the North Sea with Mount Tai, but to the category of cutting branches for the elderly.

"Respect your own old people, and by extension, respect others' old people; Take care of your children, and by extension, take care of other people's children. If you do this, the whole world will be as easy to govern as running in the palm of your hand. The Book of Songs says:' Set an example for your wife first, then pass it on to your brothers, then to your family and to your country.' I'm talking about spreading my heart to others. Therefore, Ender's ascension is enough to stabilize the world. If you don't promote Ender, you can't even protect your wife and children. The reason why ancient sages were far superior to others was that they were good at popularizing their good behavior. Now, your majesty, your kindness can be given to animals, but not to ordinary people. Why?

"You don't know the weight until you weigh it, and you don't know the length until you measure it. Everything is like this, especially the heart. Your majesty, please think about it! Do you really want to mobilize the national army, or do soldiers risk their lives to be enemies of other countries, so that you will be happy? "

King Xuan said, "No, why should I be happy when I do this?" ? I just want to realize my greatest wish. "
