The etiquette between the king and his ministers belongs to morality.

The relationship between monarch and minister is a special interpersonal relationship infused with political ethics, and it also belongs to the category of morality. The etiquette between the king and his ministers is an important part of Confucius' ethics. Confucius discussed very little about serving the king. In "Bayi", Confucius said: "The king entrusts his ministers with propriety, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty." This is Confucius's view on serving the king since the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. The inheritance of the idea of ??loyalty to the king means that only when the king uses his ministers according to etiquette can the ministers serve the king loyally.
