冉有从朝廷回来，孔子说：为什么回来得这么晚？冉有回答说：有政务。孔子说：那只是季氏的私事罢了。如果真有国家政务，虽然国君不任用我，我也应当会听到消息的。

James Legge Translation

The disciple Zan returning from the court, the Master said to him, "How are you so late?" He replied, "We had government business." The Master said, "It must have been family affairs. If there had been government business, though I am not now in office, I should have been consulted about it."
