他是東漢王朝一個著名的大臣。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他的哥哥有一個道德水平很高又很有學問的好朋友。
這個好朋友的名字叫做(張儉)。
(張儉)被誣陷要叛亂，所以國王下令要逮捕他。他倉皇逃離首都。
有一天的深夜，孔融家有人在敲門。
孔融與他的母親起來，他們打開大門後看見(張儉)站在門口。
張儉問。
不好意思，那麼晚打擾，請問你的哥哥在嗎?
他回答。
我的哥哥正好外出幾天。
(張儉)說。
那我過幾天再來。
說完這句話，(張儉)就轉身要離開。
他伸手拉住張儉
他說。
我知道你正在逃避追捕。
我的哥哥不在，現在家裡我是年紀最大的男子所以我可以做主。
你可以躲在我家，我願意負全部的責任。
(張儉)說。
你還年輕，你不清楚這件事情的嚴重性。
我躲在你家這件事如果被國王發現，你們會受到嚴厲的懲罰。
他說。
我清楚知道做這件事情的後果。
我們全家都很欽佩你是一個正直又有學問的人。
你快進來，那麼晚了，你就躲在我家，我們不會洩漏這個秘密。
(張儉)就在他家躲了幾天。
幾天後他們得到消息，大批的官兵要來他家搜索。
張儉就離開了。
幾週後，國王知道這件事因此下令逮捕孔融。
大批的士兵到了他家。
士兵們要逮捕他時˙他的哥哥這時候伸開雙手站在他的前面。
他的哥哥對士兵們說。
你們應該逮捕的人是我，我那幾天剛好不在家，所以我的弟弟才會代替我窩藏罪犯，如果那幾天我在家了，那麼窩藏罪犯的人就會是我。
他的哥哥說完這句話，士兵們來來不及反應，他們兩人的母親說話了。
他們兩個人的母親說。
你們應該逮捕我，我是家中年紀最大的人，我家中任何一個人所犯的過錯我都有責任承擔。
你們應該逮捕的人是我。
他看見自己的哥哥與母親的行動，他很焦急的對著士兵們大喊。
你們快逮捕我，窩藏罪犯是我個人的決定。與他們兩個人無關。
他們三個人都主動要求被逮捕，縱使他們三人都知道被逮捕後會面臨最嚴重的懲罰。
士兵們沒有辦法決定，他們只好請示國王。
國王說。
逮捕他的哥哥。
他的哥哥幾週後被處以死刑。
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。
你如果是他，你會收留(張儉)嗎?你如何評價他的哥哥與他的母親的行為呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
