定公问君使臣，臣事君，如之何。孔子对曰，君使臣以礼，臣事君以忠。

Modern Chinese Guide

鲁定公问：君主使唤臣子，臣子侍奉君主，应该怎样做呢？孔子回答说：君主应当依照礼来使唤臣子，臣子应当用忠心来侍奉君主。

James Legge Translation

The Duke Ting asked how a prince should employ his ministers, and how ministers should serve their prince. Confucius replied, "A prince should employ his minister according to the rules of propriety; ministers should serve their prince with faithfulness."
