Пожалуйста. Вот длинная апология Тана своей агрессии
汤誓:
王曰:“格尔众庶,悉听朕言,非台小子,敢行称乱!有夏多罪,天命殛之。今尔有众,汝曰:‘我后不恤我众,舍我穑事而割正夏?’予惟闻汝众言,夏氏有罪,予畏上帝,不敢不正。今汝其曰:‘夏罪其如台?’夏王率遏众力,率割夏邑。有众率怠弗协,曰:‘时日曷丧?予及汝皆亡。’夏德若兹,今朕必往。”
Speech of Tang:
The king said, 'Come, ye multitudes of the people, listen all to my words. It is not I, the little child, who dare to undertake a rebellious enterprise; but for the many crimes of the sovereign of Xia, Heaven has given the charge to destroy him. Now, ye multitudes, you are saying, "Our prince does not compassionate us, but (is calling us) away from our husbandry to attack and punish Xia." I have indeed heard (these) words of you all; (but) the sovereign of Xia is guilty, and as I fear God, I dare not but punish him. Now you are saying, "What are the crimes of Xia to us?" The king of Xia in every way exhausts the strength of his people, and exercises oppression in the cities of Xia. His multitudes are become entirely indifferent (to his service), and feel no bond of union'(to him). They are saying, "When wilt thou, O sun, expire? We will all perish with thee." Such is the course of (the sovereign) of Xia, and now I must go (and punish him).'
в которой он приводит все аргументы кроме самого главного ' теперь он не сын , а я сын'.
Или Тай тоже не вспоминающий про отца-небо
太甲中:
王拜手稽首曰:“予小子不明于德,自砥1不类。欲败度,纵败礼,以速戾于厥躬。天作孽,犹可违;自作孽,不可逭。既往背师保之训,弗克于厥初,尚赖匡救之德,图惟厥终。”
Tai Jia II:
The king did obeisance with his face to his hands and his head to the ground, saying, 'I, the little child, was without understanding of what was virtuous, and was making myself one of the unworthy. By my desires I was setting at nought all rules of conduct, and violating by my self-indulgence all rules of propriety, and the result must have been speedy ruin to my person. Calamities sent by Heaven may be avoided, but from calamities brought on by one's self there is no escape." Heretofore I turned my back on the instructions of you, my tutor and guardian;--my beginning has been marked by incompetency. Let me still rely on your correcting and preserving virtue, keeping this in view that my end may be good!"
