Noun

爵祿

1. peerage and salary

   • 爵祿生於功，誅罰生於罪，臣明於此，則盡死力而非忠君也。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
     爵禄生于功，诛罚生于罪，臣明于此，则尽死力而非忠君也。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE, translated based on W. K. Liao's version

     Juélù shēng yú gōng, zhūfá shēng yú zuì, chén míng yú cǐ, zé jìnsǐ lì ér fēi zhōng jūn yě. [Pinyin]

     Rank and emolument are due to meritorious services; censure and punishment, to criminal offences. If the minister understands this, he must exert his strength even at the risk of his life but never assume loyalty to the ruler.
