There was a disciple named Mi Zijian among Confucius’s disciples. He was an official in the State of Lu and was the Zai (an official position) here in Shan’s father’s country. He was worried that the king of the State of Lu would listen to the slander and leave him helpless (according to him). method) to govern the government, so he said goodbye and left, so he invited two officials around the monarch to come with him and record the names of the officials. Mi Zijian reported the names of the officials here and asked two adjutants to write them. As soon as they were written, he pulled their arms. Mi Zijian said: "You are not very good at writing, just go back if you work hard." The two lieutenants reported to the king: "Mi Zijian asked us to write but pulled our arms, and when we wrote poorly he got angry at us. , the local officials laughed at us, that’s why we went and came back.” So the king of Lu came to ask Confucius. Confucius said: "Mi Buqi (his name) is a gentleman. His talents can be used to assist the overlord (to achieve great things). If he uses his talents to govern Shan father, he will soon start to govern himself. What he wants to express is I will use this to advise you. "The king of Lu finally woke up and sighed, "This is my mistake. I disturbed Mi Zijian's governance, but I blamed him. I shouldn't have done it. , without these two officials, I would not be able to know my mistakes, and without you, Confucius, I would not be able to wake up.
