The disciple Zan returning from the court, the Master said to him, "How are you so late?" He replied, "We had government business."Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
The Master said, "It must have been family affairs. If there had been government business, though I am not now in office, I should have been consulted about it."
