Modern Chinese Guide

鲁哀公问：怎样做，百姓才会服从？孔子回答说：举用正直的人，把他们放在邪曲的人之上，百姓就会服从；举用邪曲的人，把他们放在正直的人之上，百姓就不会服从。

James Legge Translation

The Duke Ai asked, saying, "What should be done in order to secure the submission of the people?" Confucius replied, "Advance the upright and set aside the crooked, then the people will submit. Advance the crooked and set aside the upright, then the people will not submit."
