【英译】(Translation in English)

Jian Zi said, “As a ruler, what if he outrages his subjects?” Hu Hui replied, “As a ruler, if he outrages his subjects, the intelligent won’t engineer projects for him, the eloquent won’t serve as envoys to manage diplomatic affairs for him. If the intelligent don’t engineer projects for him, the state will be in jeopardy; provided the eloquent don’t serve as an envoy abroad to tackle diplomatic affairs for him, he will be unable to associate with other states’ envoys; providing the valiant don’t fight for him, the borderland will meet aggression.”(Vol.42 Xin Xu)
