《吕氏春秋·览·审分览》
君主以好炫耀来显示自己的才能，以好做先导来自夸，臣手以不劝谏君主来保持寺官职，以曲意听从来求得收容，这样就是君主代替主管官吏当主管官吏，这样就是臣子得以跟随着干那些保持官职、曲意求容的事情。
人主好暴示能，以好唱自奋，人臣以不争持位，以听从取容，是君代有司为有司也，是臣得後随以进其业。
The monarch uses ostentation to show his talents, and uses guidance to brag about himself. The minister tries to avoid the monarch to keep his official position, and tries to accommodate the passersby to seek accommodation. In this way, the monarch replaces the principal. The official acted as the principal, so the minister was able to follow the things that kept his official position and sought accommodation.
