Officials who hold certain positions have the responsibility to complete all the work required by their positions. The duty of a king is to give someone a nominal position. The work required for this position has been clearly defined in relevant laws. The king only cares about whether an official has fulfilled his duties.

What the king has to do is to reward him for completing the task and punish him for failing to complete it. The key is how the king chooses the right person to hold a certain position. "As far as Chen is concerned, you are responsible for what you say and what you teach. If you do what you say, you will get a reward; If you don't do your job well, you will be punished. " In this way, those who have the ability will be in the upper position, and those who have no ability will be eliminated.
