Because I need to follow him to reply... Trouble... And I'm afraid he will be angry with me... So I'll reply here...

Excerpt from Chapter 19 of Zilu's First Encounter

Zigong said: "Duke Ling of Chen was promiscuous in the court, and Xie Zhi was killed for admonishing him. Is this the same as Bi Gan dying for admonishing him? Can it be called benevolent?" Confucius said: "Bi Gan was a relative of King Zhou, and he was a junior teacher. His loyalty was to the ancestral temple. He must fight to the death, hoping that King Zhou would regret it after his death. His original intention was to be benevolent. Xie Zhi was a senior official of King Ling, and he was not a relative of his flesh and blood. He was favored and served in the chaotic court. With his own body, he wanted to correct the promiscuity and stupidity of the country. His death was useless. It can be said that he was wasted. The poem says: 'The people are many, but no one can be self-reliant.' Is this what Xie Zhi meant?"
