“You，sir，govern the empire，” said Hsu Yu，“and it is already in peace.Suppose I were to take your place，would I do it for the name？Name is but the shadow of real gain.Would I do it for real gain？The tit，building its nest in the mighty forest，occupies but a single twig.The tapir，slaking its thirst from the river，drinks only enough to fill its belly.You return and be quiet.I have no need of the empire.Though the cook were not attending to his kitchen，the boy impersonating the dead，and the officer of prayer would not step over the cups and stands to take his place.”
