If a king asks me for advice and then gets offended by the answer, that’s not a court, that’s customer service with robes. by Mencius

The throne is not the problem. The problem is y’all want virtue with shortcuts and enlightenment by noon.

He does this to everyone, by the way. One question and suddenly you’re the villain in a philosophy thread.

You walked in here talking about justice like I was supposed to clap. I asked for a plan, not a sermon.

I’m just saying, if every answer is a lecture, at some point the throne starts feeling like a pop quiz.

That line right there is why half the court hated him and the other half reposted it on stone tablets.

You asked how to help your kingdom and I said stop chasing profit like a man trying to catch smoke with a tax office.
