初，太子承乾失德，上密謂中書侍郎兼左庶子杜正倫曰：「吾兒足疾乃可耳，但疏遠賢良，狎暱群小，卿可察之。果不可教示，當來告我。」正倫屢諫，不聽，乃以上語告之。太子抗表以聞，上責正倫漏洩，對曰：「臣以此恐之，冀其遷善耳。」上怒，出正倫為穀州刺史。及承乾敗，秋，七月，辛卯，復左遷正倫為交州都督。初，魏徵嘗薦正倫及侯君集有宰相材，請以君集為僕射，且曰：「國家安不忘危，不可無大將，諸衛兵馬宜委君集專知。」上以君集好夸誕，不用。及正倫以罪黜，君集謀反誅，上始疑征阿黨。又有言征自錄前後諫辭以示起居郎褚遂良者，上愈不悅，乃罷叔玉尚主，而踣所撰碑。

羿，古之善射者也，調和其弓矢而堅守之，其操弓也，審其高下，有必中之道，故能多發而多中。明主猶羿也，平和其法，審其廢置而堅守之，有必治之道，故能多舉而多當。道者，羿之所以必中也，主之所以必治也。射者，弓弦發矢也。故曰：「羿之道，非射也。」

Third Sort.—The third and last sort of rude produce, of which the price naturally rises in the progress of improvement, is that in which the efficacy of human industry, in augmenting the quantity, is either limited or uncertain. Though the real price of this sort of rude produce, therefore, naturally tends to rise in the progress of improvement, yet, according as different accidents happen to render the efforts of human industry more or less successful in augmenting the quantity, it may happen sometimes even to fall, sometimes to continue the same, in very different periods of improvement, and sometimes to rise more or less in the same period.

《軍政》曰：「言不相聞，故為金鼓；視不相見，故為旌旗。」夫金鼓旌旗者，所以一民之耳目也。民既專一，則勇者不得獨進，怯者不得獨退，此用衆之法也。故夜戰多金鼓，晝戰多旌旗，所以變人之耳目也。

軍爭第七·第4则

Andrew Kloman had a small steel-hammer in Allegheny City. As a superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad I had found that he made the best axles. He was a great mechanic--one who had discovered, what was then unknown in Pittsburgh, that whatever was worth doing with machinery was worth doing well. His German mind made him thorough. What he constructed cost enormously, but when once started it did the work it was intended to do from year's end to year's end. In those early days it was a question with axles generally whether they would run any specified time or break. There was no analysis of material, no scientific treatment of it.
