冉有说:老师会帮助卫国的国君吗?子贡说:好,我去问问他。子贡进去问孔子:伯夷、叔齐是什么样的人?孔子说:是古代的贤人。子贡说:他们有怨恨吗?孔子说:他们求仁德而得到了仁德,又有什么可怨恨的呢?子贡出来说:老师不会帮助卫君了。

James Legge Translation

1. Yen Yu said, "Is our Master for the ruler of Wei?" Tsze-kung said, "Oh! I will ask him." 2. He went in accordingly, and said, "What sort of men were Po-i and Shu-ch'i?" "They were ancient worthies," said the Master. "Did they have any repinings because of their course?" The Master again replied, "They sought to act virtuously, and they did so; what was there for them to repine about?" On this, Tsze-kung went out and said, "Our Master is not for him."

Ask Confucius: local reflection

No model API is called. This local rule mode uploads nothing and keeps source, explanation, and reflection separate.

Human boundaries before model-backed chat
This is a token-free local reflection box. It calls no model, uploads no question, and only uses this passage, its guide, and fixed rules.
