In the Analects, Confucius puts forward the idea "truthful to one's name ", requiring everybody to behave as one's position demands. Unfortunately, he has not discussed what we should do when a governor does not perform as what a governor should have. We can only try to find out what he has in mind through analysing his comments on and his own behaviour towards such governors. This article starts from defining what a good governor should be in Confucius' mind, followed by investigating his comments on and attitude towards unrighteous governors of varied degrees. At last, through exploring the possibility of reversing the mechanism of "truthful to one's name", we come to the conclusion that Confucius would take into consideration both the nature and the magnitude (quality and quantity) of an unrighteous governor's behavior in deciding how this governor should be dealt with.
