Combined with section 1-2 of the model, this paper talks about how Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Chan to be frank and distinguish between rewards and punishments.

Clear the way: it is advisable to hold a holy meeting (the purpose is to inherit the virtue of the former emperor)

Reward and punishment are clear, it is appropriate to belittle yourself and compare injustice to block the road of loyalty and admonition. The key is not to "block the road of advice"

The rewards and punishments are clear: all the palaces are integrated, and it is not appropriate to be the same or different if you punish Tibet (zh) (zāng) and not punish Tibet (pǐ). This sentence means that rewards and punishments should be clear.

If there are criminals who are honest and kind, there should be rewards and punishments (specific needs)

To show that His Majesty Zhao (zhāo) understands the principle of not favoritism, which makes the internal and external laws different. (purpose)

(2) Indirectness: At the beginning, it is said that "the first emperor did not start a business halfway, and the middle road collapsed."

The implication is that the first emperor's career was not completed, so you (Liu Chan) should complete this great cause and carry forward the quality of your father (Liu Bei), that is, open your mind and distinguish rewards and punishments.
