And he answered,'A minister serves the prince with loyalty.' He asked,'Can a loyal minister become a prince?' The answer was,'The reason why princes are loyal officials is that they serve the monarch with loyalty.' He asked,'I have heard that a wise man serves his prince with the Way, and an evil man serves his prince with the Power. How much is the Way compared with the Power?' He replied,'Tao and power are farther apart. The minister serves the king with loyalty, and the Tao is further away from the power." The story was about how King Hui of Liang asked Mencius how to govern the country, and Mencius replied that a wise monarch should govern the country with morality and loyalty instead of relying on power and status. A person who doesn't like power may serve the country like a loyal minister, but morality and loyalty are more important than power and status. 2 Mencius and King Xuan of Qi: "Mencius said,'What men do not learn, those who are capable are capable. There are things that people can't do. What people don't learn and can't do is because they are good at it. King Xuan said,'How do you know what it means to be a good man?' Mencius said,'If you want to learn, don't ask for external things; If you want to learn, don't give external things. If you follow the right way, you can get rid of evil and follow good. To get rid of evil and follow good is the reason why wise people are good."

If a person is unwilling to learn and unwilling to improve his ability, he will be like a wise man who cannot make any useful contributions. On the contrary, if a person could constantly learn and improve his ability and follow the correct morality and values, this was the behavior of a wise person.
