南文子曰:「太子顏之為其君子也,甚愛。
Nan Wenzi147 said, “Prince Yan’s deportment is correct in the extreme.
非有大罪也,而亡,之必有故。
When a person is put into exile without being guilty of a great offense, there must surely be a reason behind it.
然人亡而不受,不祥。
But to deny entry to a man in exile would be inauspicious.” He had a functionary go and meet the prince and say to him, “We can by no means admit any carriage with more than five teams of horses.” The count of Zhi put aside his plans on hearing this.
」使吏逆之,曰:「車過五乘,慎勿內也。
」智伯聞之,乃止。
