Hsien Wan / 15

子曰,臧武仲,以防求为后于鲁,虽曰不要君,吾不信也。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说:臧武仲凭借占据防邑,要挟鲁国国君让他的后代继续做卿大夫,虽然有人说他没有要挟国君,我是不相信的。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "Tsang Wu-chung, keeping possession of Fang, asked of the duke of Lu to appoint a successor to him in his family. Although it may be said that he was not using force with his sovereign, I believe he was."
