Hsien Tsin / 16

季氏富于周公,而求也为之聚敛而附益之。子曰,非吾徒也,小子,鸣鼓而攻之可也。

Modern Chinese Guide

季氏比周公还要富有,可冉求还替他搜刮聚敛,再增加他的财富。孔子说:冉求不是我的学生了,你们可以大张旗鼓地去声讨他。

James Legge Translation

1. The head of the Chi family was richer than the duke of Chau had been, and yet Ch'iu collected his imposts for him, and increased his wealth. 2. The Master said, "He is no disciple of mine. My little children, beat the drum and assail him."
