the people will submit.

【十九章】哀公聞曰、何為則民服。孔子對曰、舉直錯諸枉、則民服、舉枉

錯諸直、則民不服。

CHAP. XIX. The Duke Ai asked, saying, 'What should be

done in order to secure the submission of the people?'

Confucius replied, 'Advance the upright and set aside the

crooked, then the people will submit. Advance the crooked and

set aside the upright, then the people will not submit.'
