立贤无方
Explanation: 推举贤人不以常法。《孟子·离娄下》:“ 湯 執中,立賢無方。” 焦循 正义:“方,常也……惟賢則立,而無常法,乃申上執中之有權。” 明 刘若愚 《酌中志·内臣职掌纪略》:“此必得虚明爲國、淡名利忘報復之人,柄政當朝,立賢無方,庶可辦也。”

Sage elected not to ordinary law
  Sage elected not to regular method. "Mencius from the Lou down": "Tang Zhizhong, Li Yin-free side." Jiao Xun justice: "side, often while also ... ... but Yin Li, and ever changing laws, is the application on the enforcement of the right." Ming James JY Liu " Chen Responsibilities within the discretion of the Chi Chi slightly ":" This must void and for the country, forget the revenge of light fame who handles political dynasty, Li Yin-free side, Shu can do also. "
