When Confucius came to Wei state, the governor of Yifeng County came to visit Confucius. He said, "I would pay a visit to every gentleman who come here." So, Confucius' disciple accompanied him to see Confucius. After seeing Confucius, he came out and said to Confucius' disciples, "Why are you distressed by your master's loss of office? The state has long been without the principles of truth and right. Heaven is going to send your master as a sage to enlighten the people."
