What he said was inappropriate and unreasonable.(引喻失義) / He did something bad and he broke the law. (作奸犯科)

 

What he said was inappropriate and unreasonable.(引喻失義)

He did something bad and he broke the law. (作奸犯科)

 

During China's Three Kingdoms period, China had three main kingdoms. Wei Kingdom, Wu Kingdom and Shuhan Kingdom.

 

The name of the king of Shuhan Kingdom is (Liu Bei).

After his death his throne was succeeded by his 16-year-old son (Liu Chan).

 

Because (Liu Chan) was too young, the person who really held the national power at that time was the prime minister of the Kingdom of Shu, whose name was (Zhuge Liang).

 

Four years after (Liu Bei) died, (Zhuge Liang) was ready to send troops to fight, and before he set off, he wrote a letter to (Liu Chan).

 

Part of the letter reads as follows.

 

You are the supreme leader in our kingdom, but you should remain humble in heart.

You should listen to your ministers and you should not make your comments lightly.

 

You are the supreme leader of the kingdom, so you should pay attention to every word you say.

Because what you say may be misinterpreted by others or deliberately misinterpreted by others.

 

You should respect the existing system of rewards and punishments.

 

Our entire kingdom is one, and everyone in and outside the palace should be held to the same standards.

 

If someone in the palace does something bad and breaks the law, or if someone does a good thing and deserves a reward, you should leave it to the competent officials to decide how to punish and how to pay the reward.

 

You should not overstep your authority and interfere with the decisions of the competent officials.

You should be aware that if you favor and interfere, there will be two different sets of rewards and punishments in our kingdom.

This will lead to bad consequences.

 

There are two sentences in this paragraph.

The first idiom means that a person speaks inappropriately and unreasonably.

The second idiom means that a person does something bad and breaks the law.

 

Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

Do you pay attention to every word you say, will it be misunderstood by others? In your opinion, how can a good leader avoid being misled by wrong information?

I hope this story will give you something new to gain.

引喻失義(What he said was inappropriate and unreasonable.)

作奸犯科(He did something bad and he broke the law.)

 

中國的三國時代,中國有三個主要的王國。魏王國、吳王國與蜀漢王國。

 

蜀漢王國的國王名字叫做(劉備)

他死後他的王位由他16歲的兒子繼承(劉禪)

 

由於(劉禪)太年輕,所以當時真正掌握全國權力的人是蜀王國的宰相,宰相的名字是(諸葛亮)

 

(劉備)死後四年,(諸葛亮)準備出兵打仗,在出發前,他寫了一封信給(劉禪)

 

這封信的部分內容如下。

 

你是我們王國中的最高領導者,但你應該保持謙卑的心。

你應該聽取大臣們的意見,你應該不輕易發表你的評論。

 

你是王國中的最高領導者,所以你更應該留意你所說的每一句話。

因為你說的話可能會被別人誤解或者是被別人故意錯誤詮釋。

 

你應該尊重現有的獎勵與懲罰的制度。

 

我們整個王國都是一個整體,皇宮內與皇宮外的所有人都應該遵循同樣的標準。

 

如果皇宮內有人做了壞事並因此觸犯法律,或者有人做了好事應該獲得獎賞,你應該全權交給主管官員去判定如何處罰與發放獎勵。

 

你不應該越權,去干涉主管官員的決定。

你應該留意,如果你偏袒與干涉,那麼我們王國中就會出現兩套不同的獎罰標準。

這將會導致不好的後果。

 

這段中有兩句成語。

第一句成語的意思是指一個人說話不恰當而且不合理。

第二句成語的意思是指一個人做了壞事並犯了法。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你是否有留意你說的每一句話,是否會被別人誤解呢?你認為一個好的領導人,如何避免自己被錯誤的資訊誤導呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
