The angel of the King of Qi asked (1) Zhao. Before the book was published, Hou Wei asked the Courier, "How are you 18 years old?" Are the people safe? Wang is also innocent? "The messenger didn't say (2), saying," When my Lord is your majesty, don't ask the king, ask Ji first, ask the people first. Is it a person who is humble before respecting? " Wei Hou said, "Otherwise. If you are young, why are there people? If you have no people, how can you have a gentleman? So, there are people who want to end it at the cost? "
So he continued to ask, "All the Chu Shi Bell ions are there. Are they okay? As a human being, those who have food also eat (4), and those who have no food also eat; Put on those who have clothes, and put on those who have no clothes (5). To help the king feed his people, why are you still unemployed? How is Ye Yangzi (7)? It is because he is a human being, sad and lonely, shaking (8) the poor and making up for it. He is the man who helped the king to rest his people in peace. Why is he still unemployed? How is Gong Bei's baby girl son (9)? Withdraw its precepts (10), never get married or get old, and adopt parents. Is it because he is filial to everyone that he leads the people, and Hu Weiwei has never been to court (1 1)? These two scholars have used it, and one woman is not in court. Why do you say the king of Qi and the son of all peoples (12)? Is Yu Lingzizhong (13) still alive? Because he is a man, not a king, not a family, not a vassal, leading the people out of uselessness. Why hasn't he killed them so far? "

King Qixiang sent messengers to meet Zhao. Before opening the letter, Zhao asked the messenger, "Is there a good harvest this year? Are the people happy? How is your king? " The messenger was a little unhappy and said, "I am ordered by the king to say hello to the queen mother." You don't ask about our king first, but you ask about Niancheng and the people. How can you put the humble in front and the honorable in the back? " Zhao Houhui replied, "You can't say that. If it is not mature, why can the people flourish? If there is no people, how can the king be respected in the south? Finally, what is the reason to ask questions? "
She then asked, "Are you okay with the hermit clock ion? He advocates giving food to those who have food and giving food to those who have no food. Give them clothes if they have clothes, and clothes if they don't. This is to help the king feed the people. Why did the King of Qi not attach importance to him so far? Is Ye Yangzi okay? He advocates sympathy for widows and lonely people and helps the poor. This is for the king to care about the people. Why hasn't he been appointed yet What about Gong Bei's daughter and baby? She took off her earrings and jade ornaments, never married, and devoted herself to supporting her parents, setting an example of filial piety for the people. Why hasn't she been praised by the court so far? Such two hermits can't be reused, nor can a filial daughter. How did the King of Qi govern the State of Qi and support the people? Is Yuling's son Zhong still alive? He can't be a minister for the king of the world, run a good family business in the world, and don't associate with princes. This is guiding people to idle places! Why hasn't the King of Qi executed him? "
