### 何處是主中主。師云。舌頭短三寸

> Where is the host within the host? The master said, "The tongue is three inches short."

朝堂獨坐無人問。四海馳名天下歸。善理萬機隨意轉。龍牀憨臥許誰知。

> In the silent hall, I sit alone, sought by none— Yet my name spreads wide, and all the world returns. I master every task, turning as my will commands, But who would know I lie so slack upon the dragon throne?
