Great Commoner, We will rely on you to assist the Grand Commander.
Soon we will see the drifting sands cleared, 24 for this are you sent on a mission.
When you return, the ruler will draw his mat close to listen,1 your going afar is not a series of tests.
You must preserve Wuwei Commandery, 28 and make plans for its enduring benefit. ? A lone peak, its rock bears the post route, a mettlesome horse, gold wound around its bridle. Brown wild sheep, not gamey when feasted on, 32 ale with a straw, if much, one still gets drunk. The common man? s instinct is to leap forward, a serious gentleman? s aims require brooding forethought. What opponent can there be in pacifying the border? 36 when right is restored, your plans will be fulfilled. I have heard that in hitching up the imperial drum carriage, it is not right to use a fine steed. The dragon-horse will moan, tuning its head, 40 awaiting to be brought to serve as assistant. 2 1 *Jia Yi. 2 To the emperor. Unauthenticated Download Date | 10/1/17 7:36 AM 308 ? ? ?
