original work

People are hard enough, so they should be a little healthier. To caress the people in the king's capital and to settle all the kingdoms in the four directions. Don't listen to fraud, be careful not to be kind. Stop tyranny and plunder, why not be afraid of the sky. Comfort me far away and enjoy the happiness of the king.

The people have worked hard enough and should have a rest. To caress the people in the king's capital and gather the people's people. Don't listen to fraud, beware of noise. Stop tyranny and plunder, not make people too anxious. For the benefit of Wang Jiamou, don't abandon the old credit.

The people have worked hard enough and should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Touch the capital and settle the four kingdoms. Don't listen to fraud, beware of lawlessness. Stop tyranny and plunder, and don't be too complacent. Respect and respect for dignity, closeness to lofty ideals and integrity.

The people are also working hard, but as little as 17. I love the people in the king's capital and make my people sick. Don't listen to fraud, beware of yes men. Stop tyranny and plunder, not make public affairs difficult. Although you are a young man, you have a great role to know.

The people have worked hard enough and should be able to accept it reluctantly. To caress the people in the king's capital, the people's kingdom, without cruelty and acid. Don't listen to fraud, beware of civil strife. Stop tyranny and plunder, not subvert our country. Your majesty loves jade, so he discourages it loudly.
