\nTortures and ignominious death <\/span>
\nfor \u00ab\u00a0benevolent, worthy, loyal, and upright\u00a0\u00bb counsellors <\/span>

\u00ab\u00a0Though the wisest man wants to persuade the sanest man, he is not necessarily welcomed upon his first arrival.\u00a0\u00bb Such was the case of I Yin’s persuading T`ang. Again the saying: \u00ab\u00a0Though the wise man wants to persuade the fool, he is not necessarily listened to.\u00a0\u00bb Such was the case of King W\u00ean’s 10<\/span> persuading Chow. 11<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, just as King W\u00ean attempted to persuade Chow and was put in jail, 12<\/span> Marquis Ih 13<\/span> was broiled; Marquis Chiu’s 14<\/span> corpse was dried; Pi-kan 15<\/span> had his heart cut open; and Earl Mei’s corpse was pickled. 16<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, I-wu was bound with chains. Ts`ao Ch`i 17<\/span> absconded to Ch`\u00ean. Pai-li Tz\u016d 18<\/span> begged on his way to the capital of Ch`in. Fu Y\u00fceh 19<\/span> was sold into slavery from place to place. Sun Tz\u016d 20<\/span> had his feet cut off in Wey. Wu Ch`i 21<\/span> wiped off his tears at Dike Gate, lamented over the impending cession of the Western River Districts to Ch`in, and was dismembered in Ch`u. Kung-shu Tso 22<\/span> spoke of a man fit to be a pillar of the state but was regarded as unreasonable, so that Kung-sun Yang 23<\/span> absconded to Ch`in. Kuan Lung-p`\u00eang 24<\/span> was executed. Ch`ang Hung 25<\/span> had his intestines chopped into pieces. Yin Tz\u016d 26<\/span> was thrown into a trap among brambles. The Minister of War, Tz\u016d-ch`i, 27<\/span> was killed and his corpse was floated on the Yang-Tz\u016d River. T`ien Ming 28<\/span>was stoned 29<\/span> to death. Mi Tz\u016d-chien 30<\/span> and Hsi-m\u00ean Pao 31<\/span> quarrelled with nobody but were killed. Tung An-y\u00fc 32<\/span> was killed and his corpse was exposed in the market-place. Tsai Y\u00fc 33<\/span> had to suffer the disaster caused by T`ien Ch`ang. 34<\/span> Fan Ch\u00fc 35<\/span> had his ribs broken in Wey.<\/p>\n

These tens of men 36<\/span> were all benevolent, worthy, loyal, and upright persons in the world and followers of the right way and true path of life. Unfortunately they met such unreasonable, violent, stupid, and crooked masters, and lost their lives in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
