Today, I'm a boy. I'm diligent in virtue, but I don't catch you all day long. Yang but when the previous generation, if, discipline dijue officer. Taishi, Taifu and Taibao are the three masters. On the way of governing the country, we should understand Yin and Yang. It's not necessary to be an official, but a person. Shaoshi, Shaofu and Shaobao are called Sangu.

His erdian was often a teacher, but he had no official who could help him. He has doubts, fails to plan, neglects the famine policy, does not study the wall, and is only annoyed. It's hard to avoid the difficulties of the future if you want to be diligent and resolute. The position is not expected to be arrogant, the salary is not expected to be extravagant. Being courteous and thrifty is virtue. To be virtuous is to rest day by day; to be false is to work day by day. If you are in favor, you will think of danger. If you are not afraid, you will be afraid. If you give up your talents and abilities, the common officials will be in harmony with each other, not with the government. To be able to be an official is to be able to be an official. Call the bandit himself, but you will not. 」

King Cheng of Zhou appeased all nations, inspected Dukes such as Dufu, Dianfu, and so on. None of the princes in Liufu did not flatter his moral education. When King Cheng returned to Fengyi, the capital of the king, he supervised the officials to rectify the affairs. Cheng Wang said: "to comply with the great laws of the past, we should formulate governance measures when there is no turmoil, and stabilize the country when there is no crisis. Yao and Shun examined the ancient system and established 100 official posts. Inside there are Bai Kui and four mountains, outside there are Zhou Mu and Hou Bo. All kinds of policies are suitable, and all countries are peaceful. In the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the number of officials doubled, which could also be used to govern. The king of Ming set up officials, not considering the number of his officials, but considering to get wise people. Now I'm respectful and diligent, and I dare not slack off when I get up early and go to bed late. Yang Sishun, the former generation, explained the establishment of our official system.

"The establishment of Taishi, Taifu and Dabao are the three principles. They talked about clearly governing the way, governing the country and harmonizing Yin and Yang. There is no need to have all the officials of the three gongs. We should consider the right people.

"The establishment of Shaoshi, Shaofu and Shaobao is called Sangu. They helped Sangong carry forward the enlightenment, respect the world, and help me alone.

"Zhong Zai is in charge of the governance of the country, commanding all officials and regulating the whole world. Situ was in charge of the education of the country, spread the lessons of the five constant, and made all the people peaceful. Zongbo was in charge of the ceremonies of the country, governing the feelings of God and man, and harmonizing the relationship between the superior and the inferior. Sima was in charge of the country's military and political affairs, commanding the sixth division and subduing the state. Sikou was in charge of the law and prohibition of the country, governing the likes and dislikes, and punishing and killing the rioters.

The six ministers were in charge of their duties and led their subordinate officials to advocate the grazing of Kyushu and stabilize the people.

"In six years, the princes of Wufu came to court once. After another six years, Wang inspected the four mountains and corrected the system. The princes came to court in their respective mountains, and the king made it clear to them that they would be rewarded and punished. "

Cheng Wang said, "ah! All my officials at all levels should take seriously the work you manage and the orders you issue. When an order is issued, it must be carried out. Don't disobey it. If justice is used to eliminate private feelings, the people will trust and submit themselves. If we first learn the ancient rule of law and then enter the official career, and discuss the political affairs according to the legal system, there will be no mistakes in the political affairs. You should use Zhou's common law as a rule, and don't interfere with your officials with clever words. If you don't make up your mind, you will ruin the stratagem. If you neglect your feelings, you will abandon political affairs. If you don't study, you will be upset.

"I tell you that high achievements are due to ambition, and great achievements are due to diligence. If you can make a decisive decision, there will be no difficulties later. It's a virtue to be modest and thrifty! Don't cheat. To be virtuous means to be free and beautiful, and to be hypocritical means to be hardworking and clumsy. When you are in favor, you have to think of danger and disgrace. If you don't know how to be in awe, you will be in a terrible situation. If we elect the wise and give way to the capable, the officials will be in harmony; if the officials are not in harmony, the political affairs will be complicated. It's your talent to recommend capable people in their official positions; it's not the kind of people you recommend, it's your incompetence. "

Cheng Wang said, "ah! The three heads of Ren Ren, Zhun Fu and Mu Mu and the doctors: take your official positions seriously, govern your political affairs, assist your monarch, and make the people peaceful for a long time; all nations will not abandon us. "
