Or that great ministers form factions and cliques, advancing their private followers? Or that field commanders burn and plunder without restraint? Or that tax remissions and relief grants are not carried out in fact? Or that magistrates in hearing cases wrong innocent commoners? Or that princes and great ministers fail to restrain their subordinates and allow harm to common people? If any one of these is true, it is enough to bring disaster. Only by holding to the great law in small matters, by governing in peace and settling suits justly, may we perhaps move Heaven and dispel this evil sign. Therefore I make known my heart, wishing to exhort myself together with officials great and small, within the court and without. Thus concluded the address.
