Being gentle and harmonious can unite people's hearts, but sometimes, you must also demonstrate decisiveness and forcefulness. You can let others underestimate you or ignore you, but when it's necessary for you to step forward, you must exhibit the power you hold as a monarch. You don't need to constantly assert your presence, but remember, the sharpest sword in the world is in your hand.
Keep a low profile and bide your time, but the sword must be in your hand. Only with the sword in hand does your voice carry weight. Ignore how others argue; anyone who wants to take the sword from you is an enemy. Whether they mean well or not, you must tightly grasp the sword!
With the sword in hand and virtue upon you, you are the monarch. Everything else is superficial, whether it's benevolence or virtue. Just do what you need to do!
