孔丘Kong Qiu was lounging with his disciples.
He remarked:
瞽叟1"When Shun saw Gu Sou, he felt uneasy.
天下 The empire at the time must be in danger.
周公旦Was not Dan, the Duke of Zhou, unmagnanimous?
?」 Why did he resign from his public office and retire to his private home?
孔丘This shows Kong Qiu's conduct and the attitude of his mind.
孔丘 His followers and disciples all imitated him:
子貢季路

Zi Gong and Ji Lu assisted Kong Li and committed high treason against the state of Wei.
陽貨 Yang Huo rebelled against Qi.
佛肸 Bi Xi was entrusted with Zhong Mou and became independent.
Qi Diao had a ferocious appearance.
Nothing can be more... than this!
Of course the disciples and pupils,
following a teacher,
will advocate his doctrines and imitate his conduct.
Only, they are not as powerful and not as clever.
孔丘Now, since such was the conduct of Kong Qiu,
the Confucian scholars are naturally to be objects of suspicion.
