On Qin Mugong's Translation from Five Sheepskins.

After getting Prissy, Gong Sunzhi liked him very much and recommended him to Qin Mugong. Three days later, he asked for his appointment as an official. Mu Gong said: "I bought him with five sheepskins and appointed him as an official position. I am afraid I will be laughed at by the world!"

Gong said: "It is wisdom for you to trust the virtuous; It is loyalty for a minister to give way to a sage and live there. The monarch is a wise monarch, and the courtiers are loyal ministers. If he is really virtuous, the country will listen and the enemy will be afraid. Who will have leisure to laugh at him? " Mu Gong then took the stage and started using Priscilla.

His strategy is right and he will succeed in doing things. This does not mean that his virtue has increased. No matter how virtuous Prissy is, if she is not won by Mu Gong, she certainly has no reputation for choosing samples. How do we know there is no Priscilla? Therefore, those who want to seek wisdom among monarchs must seek widely.
