5[1]

[In a minister], to be yielding and yet upright is best. To be
exact is next. Last of all is to be carpingly critical. Utter weakness

Or eject the powerful.

[OMITTED] "There are five ways of remonstrance. The first is straightforward

the fourth is naïve remonstrance; the fifth is satirical remonstrance. Confucius said,
`Am I one to practice satirical remonstrance?' "
