他是一位傑出的軍事家。他是隋王朝的一位重要的開國功臣。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他是一個非常有權勢與金錢的人，在那個時代，他合法的有很多妾。
有一個他的妾，他發現這個妾有一個情夫。
他便設下一個圈套，他想要抓住這個人。
在一個夜裡，他在他的妾的房間裡，抓到她與她的情夫。
她與她的情夫被帶到大廳中。
他非常的生氣。在那個代，他可以直接殺了這兩個人。
但是當他看清楚他的妾的情夫的臉時，他心中暗驚。
這個人竟然是他的一個同事20歲的兒子。
這個年輕人他認識，而且他的父親是宰相。是文官中最高領導人。
他心裡想。
我非常想殺了他。但是如果我殺了這個年輕人，那麼他的父親一定會因為因此恨我。
但是如果我不殺了這個年輕人。現場那麼多人，我會在這個家庭裡失去我的威信。
殺與不殺之間，他很快地想出第三條道路。
他對這個年輕人說。
你犯了必死的罪。但我願意給你一個活下去的機會。
我給你十分鐘，讓你用寫一首詩為自己申辯。
如果你寫的這一首詩可以讓我感動，或許我就會放你一條活路。
他吩咐僕人為這個年輕人準備紙筆。
十分鐘後，這個年輕人寫了一首詩。
他走到那個年輕人的身邊，他拿起這個年輕人寫的詩。
他看了看，他笑著說。
你這首詩寫得很好，我被這首詩所感動。
我可以讓你自由，但是有一個條件。
他停了幾秒鐘，又對這個年輕人說。
我問你一個問題。你要誠實回答我。你與我的妾是真心相愛的嗎。
這個年輕人害怕的不知道應該搖頭還是點頭。
他很嚴肅的對這個年輕人說。
你喜歡一個女人就應該勇敢地爭取啊。
我可以也讓她自由，讓她跟你永遠在一起。
一個月內你要安排好你們的婚禮。
你正式的娶她為妻，我會為她準備一筆很豐厚的嫁妝。
如果你答應了，你現在立刻就可以離開我的家。
如果你不肯正式娶她。那麼你今晚就要為自已的行為付出代價。
這個年輕人答應了這個條件。
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。
你認為為何他如果殺了這個年輕人會有怎樣的後果呢?你認為他為何要把自己的妾嫁給這個年輕人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
