Kim Hujik金后稷
1Kim Hujik remonstrates even after death
金后稷，智證王之曾孫。事眞平大王，為伊飡，轉兵部令。大王頗好田獵，后稷諫曰：「古之王者，必一日萬機，深思遠慮，左右正士，容受直諫，孶孶矻矻，不敢逸豫，然後，德政醇美，國家可保。今，殿下日與狂夫獵士，放鷹犬，逐雉兎，奔馳山野，不能自止。老子曰：『馳騁田獵，令人心狂。』《書》曰：『內作色荒，外作禽荒，有一于此，未或不亡。』由是觀之，內則蕩心，外則亡國，不可不省也，殿下其念之。」王不從，又切諫，不見聽。後，后稷疾病，將死，謂其三子曰：「吾為人臣，不能匡救君惡，恐大王遊娛不已，以至於亡敗，是吾所憂也。雖死，必思有以悟君，須瘞吾骨於大王遊畋之路側。」子等皆從之。他日，王出行，半路有遠聲，若曰莫去。王顧問：「聲何從來。」從者告云：「彼后稷伊飡之墓也。」遂陳后稷臨死之言，大王潸然流涕曰：「夫子忠諫，死而不忘，其愛我也深矣。若終不改，其何顔於幽明之間耶。」遂終身不復獵。
Kim Hujik was a great-grandson of King Jijeung. He served King Jinpyeong the Great, rose to the rank of ichan, and was moved to be head of the Byeongbu.
The great king was rather fond of hunting, so Hujik remonstrated with him. "The kings of old always saw to ten thousand matters in a day, thinking deeply and weighing far ahead. They kept upright men about them and took in honest words of reproof. They worked hard and toiled and did not dare give themselves to ease, and only then was their rule of virtue pure and fine, and the country could be kept safe.
Now Your Majesty spends every day with wild men and hunters, loosing hawks and hounds after pheasant and hare, racing over hill and field, and cannot stop yourself. Laozi said, 'Galloping and hunting drive a man's heart mad.' The Book of Documents says, 'To run wild after women within and wild after game without — where there is even one of these, there is none who has not fallen.' Seen in this way, the one makes the heart loose within and the other brings the country down without, and it cannot go unexamined. Let Your Majesty think on this."
The king did not follow him. He remonstrated again in earnest, and was not listened to.
Later, when Hujik was ill and about to die, he said to his three sons, "As a servant of the king I was not able to set right and save my lord from his fault. I fear that the great king will not stop his sport and will come to ruin and defeat, and this is what troubles me. Even in death I will surely think of some way to wake my lord, so you must bury my bones beside the road where the great king goes out to hunt." The sons all did as he said.
On another day the king went out, and halfway along the road there was a far-off sound, as if it said, "Do not go." The king looked about and asked, "Where does that sound come from?"
One of his attendants told him, "That is the grave of Hujik the ichan." Then he set out the words Hujik had spoken as he came to die.
The great king let the tears run down and said, "Your loyal reproof is not forgotten even in death. Deep indeed was his love for me. If I never mend my ways in the end, what face will I have between the dark world and the bright?" And to the end of his life he never hunted again.
