Translation of Classical Chinese in Liang Wang's Interrogation in Prison

Western Han Zou Yang

original text

I always believe everything I hear, but I don't doubt it I often take it for granted, but my words are empty. Yesterday, Jing Ke Mu Yandan's righteousness, Bai Hongguan, the prince feared it; Mr. Wei painted Changping for Qin, which is too white to eat, so I doubt it. Woe to my husband, he won't tell the second master if he changes the world! Today, I am loyal and conscientious, and I would like to know after the discussion. I can't tell right from left, and I doubt the world. Is to make Jing Ke, Mr. Wei, and Yan, Qin also. May the king observe it.

Yesterday, the jade man presented a treasure, and the king of Chu slaughtered it; Reese was loyal and Hu Hai was executed. So, I am crazy about Yang, and I will avoid the world when I meet him, fearing this harm. May the King observe the wishes of Jade Man and Reese, and then the King of Chu and Hu Hai will listen, so that the envoys will not be laughed at by Kiko and Jieyu. I heard that cutting the heart is easier than drying it. I didn't believe it at first, but now I know. May the king observe and be less merciful.

As the saying goes, "the bald head is as good as new, and the cover is as good as before." What is this? Know and don't know Therefore, Fan Yuqi fled the swallow of Qin and borrowed Jing Ke to serve Dan; The king snake went to Wei State of Qi State, and lived in Wei State in Lincheng. Husband, King Qi and Fan are no strangers to Chyi Chin, but they are new to Yan and Wei. Therefore, those who go to the two countries will die two kings, and they will follow their aspirations and have endless ambitions. Based on Su Qin's unbelief in the world, he was born as a tuxedo; Bai Gui killed six cities and took Zhongshan as Wei. What is this? Really know each other. Su Yan, the king of evil, is angry with a sword and eats with food; Bai Gui is outstanding, Wei Wenhou people are evil, and Hou Wenfu has luminous jade. What is this? Two masters and two ministers, dissecting the heart and analyzing the liver, I believe it is not a matter of rhetoric!

Therefore, women are jealous when they enter the palace without beauty or evil; A scholar is neither virtuous nor corrupt, and he is jealous when he enters the DPRK. Yesterday Sima Xi was in the Song Dynasty and died in Zhongshan State; Threatened to knock out his teeth in Wei, and he also died. Both of them believe in the inevitable painting, donate the private interests of their cronies, and rely on lonely friends, so they are inevitably jealous. Therefore, Emperor Shen Tu danced on the Yongjiang River and brought the stone into the sea, which was unacceptable to the world. He meticulously moved his heart from the Zhou Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty. So, Bailixi begged for food on the road, and Miao Gong Wei was in politics; After dinner, Huan Gong made him a country. These two men, are you an official in the DPRK, borrowing fame or so, and then taking charge of them? Feeling in my heart, suitable for the line, better than glue paint, Kundi can not do without it, is it confusing everyone? So, it's useless when you listen. Yesterday, Lu listened to Ji and chased Confucius, while Song Renzi was imprisoned. The dispute between Confucius and Mohism is inevitable, and the two countries are in danger. What is this? Many people talk about golden change, and there are no bones left. Qin used to allow people to change from Yu to Hua, and Qi used the Yue people to hide and strengthen Wei and Xuan. Are these two countries bound by the secular, drawn by the world, or strange words? Listen to the public and watch, and show it to the world. Deliberately unite Yue Hu as a brother, and the son hides himself as a foreigner; If you don't agree, flesh and blood are enemies, and Zhu, Xiang, Guan and Cai are enemies. Today, with the wisdom of Chyi Chin, after learning about Song and Lu, five scholars are not enough, and three kings are easy to do.

Donation is the heart of a holy king, let alone a Tian Chang saint. After the seal, the tomb of pregnant women was built, so it made the world famous. What is this? I want to be a good person and hate people. Fu is close to him, and he is strong among the ministers; Qi Huan conquered the world with his revenge. What is this? Kindness and kindness are sincere from the heart and cannot be borrowed in vain.

The wise use of Shang Yang's method weakened Korea and Wei in the East, expanded the world and cracked the car. The more you use the doctor's plan, the stronger the bird is, the more you punish him. Therefore, Sun Shuai did not regret his three visits, and Yuling resigned as a gardener herself. Today, if people are sincere enough to get rid of pride, be grateful, be affectionate and have the courage to be honest with others, and eventually be poor with others. If they say that they have no love for scholars, Valerian's dogs can make them cry, and Zhizhi's guests can make them stab, what's more, because of Wancheng's power, they are false to the capital of the holy king! However, if the seven Zhan families in Jing Ke want to leave their wives burned to death, is it enough to be a king?

I smell the pearl of the bright moon, the pearl of the luminous light, and throw people into the Tao with a shovel, and everyone fights according to the sword. What is this? There is no such thing as moving forward. The wooden roots are flat and the wheels are grotesque, but universal riders should go around first. So, there is no such thing as going to the front. Although following Zhu Yu, but hatred without virtue; If someone swims first, it's a dead tree, and the tree won't forget it. Nowadays, people who live in poverty and have no worries about food and clothing in the world are all poor. Although Meng Yao Heshun's skills are used to fighting for Iraq and capital, he has no intention of meeting and confronting the dragon. Although he has exhausted his spirit and wants to be loyal to the contemporary king, his master will still attack with a sword. Is to keep people in cloth from becoming dead wood and rotten grass.

It is based on the fact that the holy king controls the world. He is superior to Tao Jun, and he does not take flattering words or talkative words. So many dissenting Confucian is the son of Meng Jia, who believed Jing Ke and stole the dagger. Zhou Wenwang hunted the Jingwei River and carried Lu Shanggui to rule the world. Around death, Zhou used Wuji as king. What is this? Because it can transcend language restraint, it is beyond the scope of discussion, which is also Zhao Kuang's unique view.

Today, Shen's flattery has made the unruly and Niu Ji the same, so Baojiao is angry all over the world.

I won the victory, decorated the court, and did not defile justice for self-interest. Those who achieved success were not interested. Hometown mother, Ceng Zi does not enter; City number chanting, Mozi into the car. Today, if we want to make the people in the world locked in the cage of powerful people, threatened by your position, turn back into dirty people who flatter things and seek to be close to them, then the people will have dead ears and loyalty.

Courtiers heard that loyalty will not go unrewarded and honesty will not be doubted. Courtiers once thought so, but it was just empty talk. Once upon a time, Jing Ke's loyalty to Yan Taizi Dan was so admired that he even moved to see Bai Hong crossing the day, but Taizi Dan didn't trust him. Mr. Wei planned a plan for the state of Qin to use Changping's victory to destroy Zhao. God presented the auspicious situation that Taibai star entered the Pleiades, but Qin really doubted him. Sincerity has changed the world, but faithfulness has not been understood by the two masters. Aren't you sad? Courtiers nowadays are loyal and dedicated. They want you to know all their opinions, but people around the king don't understand. As a result, I was questioned by prison officials and suspected by the world. This is the rebirth of Jing Ke and Mr. Wei, but Yan Taizi Dan and Qin Zhao Wang have not realized it. I hope your majesty will think carefully and think clearly.

Once upon a time, Bian He presented a treasure, and the king of Chu cut off his foot; Reese was loyal and Qin Ershi executed him. Therefore, Ji Zi pretended to be crazy and lived in seclusion because he was afraid of this scourge. I hope the King can see clearly the true intentions of Bian He and Reese, ignore the partiality of Chu and Qin Ershi, and don't let courtiers laugh at Ji Zi and Jieyu. Detained Bigan was disembowelled, and Wu Zixu was wrapped in a horse skin and thrown into Qiantang River after his death. The detained people didn't believe it at first, but they realized it today. I hope your majesty will think deeply and have a little compassion.

As the saying goes: "Some people get along with each other until they are old or unfamiliar, and some people stop to talk and hit it off at first sight." Why? The key is to understand. So Fan fled from the State of Qin to the State of Yan and gave his head to Jing Ke to help Taizi Dan's career. The king snake left the State of Qi and went to the State of Wei. In order to save the State of Wei, he committed suicide on the tower and retired the Qi army. He Fan is not aligned with Qin, but has a long relationship with Yan and Wei. They left the first two countries and died for the last two monarchs because their actions and ambitions were consistent, and they admired loyalty infinitely. Therefore, Su Qin did not gain the trust of all countries in the world, but died for Yan's trustworthiness; Bai Gui fought for Sun Yat-sen and lost six cities in a row. When he arrived in Wei, he captured Sun Yat-sen for Wei. Why? It is really because of the mutual understanding between the monarch and the minister. When Su Qin was a swallow, someone spoke ill of him in front of the prince. Prince was so angry that he drew his sword and gave Su Qin valuable horse meat. After Bai Gui captured Zhongshan State, he was very noble. Someone spoke ill of Wei Wenhou in front of him, so Wei Wenhou gave Bai Gui a shining jewel. Why? Two princes and two ministers, open their hearts to each other and treat each other sincerely, can it be changed by false words!

Therefore, whether a woman is beautiful or not, she will be jealous as soon as she enters the palace; Scholars, whether virtuous or not, are excluded as soon as they enter the court. Sima Xi used to be whipped in Song State, and later he came to Zhongshan State to take photos. In Wei, his ribs were broken and his teeth were broken. Later, he came to the state of Qin, but he was awarded the title of Won Hou. These two people, both confident of their success, abandoned the matter of cliques and relied on single-handed communication, so they will inevitably be envied by others. So, Shen Tudi drifted into the Yellow River, while Yan Xu jumped into the sea carrying a stone. They were out of tune with the secular world, insisted on integrity in the court and refused to change the monarch's mind. So Prissy begged on the road, and Qin Mugong entrusted the national government to him; Qi fed the cows under the car and appointed him to govern the country. Have these two men always been officials in the imperial court, relying on their cronies to say good things, and then the two monarchs reuse them? Heart to heart, concerted action, is better than glue. Brothers cannot alienate them. Can people's mouths confuse them? Therefore, partial listening will produce evil, and arbitrariness will cause disaster and chaos. Once upon a time, Lu listened to the evil words and drove Confucius away, while Song used natural tricks to check it out. With the eloquence of Confucius, it is inevitable to be slandered by slanderers, while Shandong and Song are in danger. Why? Everyone's mouth can melt gold, and years of slander can melt gold. Years of slander are aimed at making bones rot. The State of Qin appointed Rong Hong to dominate the Central Plains, while the State of Qi used Wang Wei, the son of Yue Zang, and Wang Xuanqiang for a while. Are these two countries bound by the world, led by the nose, and influenced by strange and biased false statements? Listening to various opinions and looking at all aspects left a wise example for that time. Therefore, Hu people and Yue people can also be regarded as brothers, such as Yu Yu and Zi Zang. If you don't agree, even your own flesh and blood can become enemies. , Xiang and Cai Shu are examples. Nowadays, people can really take the position of Chyi Chin, regardless of Song Luzhi's partiality, so it's hard to compare the five tyrants and the three kings.

Therefore, a wise king can realize that he has abandoned his son's loyalty and disliked Tian Chang's talent. Like Zhou Wuwang, he raised Bigan's descendants and restored the tomb of pregnant women destroyed by Zhou Wang, so his achievements spread all over the world. Why? The desire to do good is never enough. Jin Wengong got close to his former enemies and finally dominated the princes; Qi Huangong appointed his former enemy, thus achieving the hegemony of the whole world. Why? Charity, love and affection are sincere and cannot be replaced by false words.

As for Qin's adoption of Shang Yang's political reform, the East weakened Korea and Wei, and was stronger than the world at once, but Shang Yang was dismembered as a result. The King of Yue adopted the strategy of planting doctors, conquered the powerful State of Wu and dominated the Central Plains, but eventually forced the doctor to commit suicide. Therefore, Sun Shuai did not regret leaving Chu for three times, and Yu Lingzi Zhong declined the appointment of Sangong to water the vegetable garden. Today's monarch really wants to get rid of his pride, show his heart with sincerity that makes him willing to serve, show his true feelings, be generous, and share joys and sorrows with others forever, so his dog can bark at Yao, and his followers who steal his feet can also ask him to assassinate him, not to mention relying on the power of the monarch and the status of the holy king! So, then Jing Ke destroyed seven families and burned his wife and children. Is it worth telling the king in detail?

Courtiers heard that the bright moon beads and luminous jade were secretly thrown at people on the road, and people didn't look at the hilt. Why? Because I came to the front for no reason. Curved wood and old stumps are strangely bent, but they can become the vessels of the monarch because the people around him whitewashed them first. Therefore, if you come to the front and don't help, even if you give it to Hou Zhu and He Shibi, you will only be jealous and get no return; Someone said yes first, and the dead branches will make contributions unforgettable. Nowadays, the literati who are born in the common people and have poor families in the world have never whitewashed the roots of old trees, even though they have Yao Shun's strategy, Yi Yin's eloquence and Guan Zhong's loyalty to dragons, dragons and phoenixes. Although they try their best to open a loyal heart to the contemporary monarch, then the monarch is bound to make the mistake of raising eyebrows by pressing the hilt. This makes the literati from the civilian background even get the treatment that the rotten wood cannot be carved.

Therefore, a wise monarch who rules the secular world should have his own opinions, just like making pottery on a turntable alone, not being led by flattery and not changing his views because of different opinions. So Qin Shihuang listened to Meng Jia, the son of Zhong Shu, and believed Jing Ke, and the hidden dagger finally appeared; Zhou Wenwang hunted between Shui Jing and Wei Shui, and brought it back to Lu Shang in the same car, thus winning the world. Qin was credulous and perished, and Zhou appointed an outsider to be king. Why? Because Wang Wen can cross the Qiang language with curly tongue, his speech is not restricted, and he sees the aboveboard truth.

Now the monarch is surrounded by flattery and bound by concubines, making people who are not bound by stereotypes in the same slot as cattle and horses. This is why Baojiao is so cynical.

The courtiers heard that people who wear gorgeous clothes to enter the DPRK do not have to defile their moral integrity for selfish reasons, and those who cultivate themselves and make a name for themselves will not corrupt their conduct for selfish reasons. So in the name of winning his mother, Ceng Zi refused to enter; In the name of the capital, Mozi returned to the car. Now, if people with lofty bearing in the world are to be imprisoned by powerful power, coerced by dignitaries, turn their backs to serve their bad deeds, serve the sycophants and get a chance to get close to the monarch, then the scholars will only die of old age in the cave, and there will be no people who devote themselves to the monarch!
