Idiom story

Ji Kangzi was a senior official of the state of Lu in the spring and Autumn period. He was very powerful, even more powerful than the king of Lu AI gong at that time. Ji Kangzi wanted to attack Zhuanyu, a subsidiary state of Lu state near his fiefdom. Ran you and Zilu, Confucius' students, were both Ji Kangzi's family ministers at that time and told Confucius the news. Confucius said, "I'm afraid I have to blame you. Zhuan Yu state was granted by the former king, and it was a subsidiary state within the territory of Lu state. Why did you attack it?" ran you said, "this is Ji Kangzi's idea. Neither Zilu nor I want to do this." Confucius said, "Zhou Ren, the supreme historian of the Shang Dynasty, said," ministers should be loyal to their duties, otherwise they should not stay in that position. " Why use an assistant when a blind person can't stand steadily but doesn't help him or fall down? What's wrong with you? Tigers and rhinoceroses escape from the cage to hurt people (tiger's fur (SI) is out of fur (Xia)), tortoise shell and precious jade are destroyed in the box (tortoise jade is destroyed in calf). Who's fault is it. Now it's more like indulging bad people. (from the Analects of Confucius Ji Shi)
