- Discussion Questions:
11. 罪關大憂, 錄狀啓稟官 堂上斷以卿衷, 故玆敎示 想宜知悉 If the crimes should raise grave concerns, you should report to the office, and the high ministers (ranking 3a and above) will make a judgment based on your faithful report. I, the king, hereby instruct you thus, and you should consider and remember all my instructions.
Student 1 : Yishu Ma
- Discussion Questions:
荐臻專城或存於▣▣赤子未蒙其實澤
Translation: Successive local officials might be ... Common people have not yet received the real benefits [of governance].
Student 2 : Samuel Sai Hay Chan 陳世熙 진세희
眖有▣(緩)急將何措宜益軫予懷其惟重臣
There are matters non-urgent and urgent. What to do with them? One ought to handle them with more measured deliberations. I can only think of one right minister [who is qualified to take up such task].
Translator's note: The meaning of 脫有緩急 is evading for a modern reader. But it is apparently a very common idiom during the Choson dynasty. A search in the Veritable Records of the Choson Dynasty (조선왕조실록) yields 283 results. From my brief survey, the idiom is seemingly related to military or logistical maneuverability and used to describe a difficulty in maneuvering.
Example: 태종실록 14권, 태종 7년 7월 27일 戊寅 2번째기사 開雲浦至甘北浦水路五息, 陸路四息, 脫有緩急, 難以相救。
세종실록 88권, 세종 22년 3월 1일 癸卯 3번째기사 今聞高興新鎭, 置於隔海之地三十餘里, 脫有緩急, 人民被虜可慮。
광해군일기[중초본] 7권, 광해 1년 6월 8일 丁巳 3번째기사 近因南邊稍靜, 人之視舟師若筌蹄然, 減損兩湖入防之船, 只存本道船二十餘隻。 其勢將至於停罷, 脫有緩急, 將何以應敵乎?
- Discussion Questions:
Student 3 : Younès M'Ghari
惟卿 德涵內外 學造精微 敦大而高明 方嚴而簡默
Only you, minister, are embodied with virtue inside and outside. Your knowledge is profound and subtle. You are great and brilliant. You are upright and solemn, and [in the same time] simple and quiet.
- Discussion Questions:
Under which circumstances this order could be declined (e.g., a disease, an ill father or son to take care of)? How would a minister notify it (through which means, which institution)? What would be the possible sanctions towards a minister refusing to obey this kind of order although he has reasons to?
Student 4 : King Kwong Wong
處論思之地 嘉猷累陳 作親民之官, 善政素著 When posited in situations of discussing your ideas, you repeatedly lay out excellent plans for governance. Being an official of renewing people, your good governance is always outstanding.
