| Yuan and Qian: |
Someone asked: What about Xiao He and Cao Shen? Yangzi said: Xiao He made the rules, Cao Shen followed them. What about Teng Houying, Guan Ying, Fan Kuai and Li Shang? Yangzi said: They were chivalrous and honorable. The other said: Shu Suntong? Yangzi said: He was a fake copy. The other said: Yuan Ang? Yangzi said: His loyalty was insufficient and his talk was excessive. The other said: Zhao Cuo? Yangzi said: He was stupid. The other said: Ruthless officials? Yangzi said: Tigers! Tigers—with horns and wings! The other said: The profiteers? Yangzi said: Mosquitoes! They've always sucked the kingdom's blood dry, making people have to pick wild grasses to eat, drink [only] water and wear coarse clothing. How can they live until their teeth fall out with nothing to worry about? The other asked about compliant officials. Yangzi said: They were officials indeed. The other asked about wandering swordsmen. Yangzi said: They stole the kingdom's authority. The other said: Flatters who curried favor? Yangzi said: They are not even worth consideration. |
