He was a famous nobleman of the Chu Kingdom
during the Warring States Period in China.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He once represented the Kingdom of Chu as
the ambassador to the Kingdom of Qin.
During his tenure, he successfully
persuaded the king of the Qin Kingdom to reverse the decision to attack the Chu
Kingdom.
The Qin Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom even
signed a peace covenant.
After signing this peace agreement, the
Kingdom of Chu sent the prince to the Kingdom of Qin as a hostage.
The prince of the Chu Kingdom lived with
him in the embassy in the capital of the Qin Kingdom.
After a few more years, the king of the Chu
kingdom fell ill, and the king of the Chu kingdom may die soon.
The day after he received the news, he went
to see the prime minister of the Qin Kingdom. He said to the prime minister of
the Qin Kingdom.
According to my information, the king of
Chu Kingdom is dying.
If the king of the Chu Kingdom died and the
prince of the Chu Kingdom was still in the Qin Kingdom, the prince's brother
would definitely take away the throne of the Chu Kingdom.
If the prince's brother really took away
the throne of the Chu Kingdom, the new king would definitely object to the
peace covenant signed between the Qin Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom.
Because the new king knows that he will
anger you by doing so, you will kill the prince who is still living in the Qin
Kingdom as a hostage.
I make my suggestion to you.
You should let the prince of the Chu
kingdom return to the kingdom of Chu, and let him succeed his father as the
king of the new kingdom of Chu.
The prince of the Chu Kingdom has lived in
the Qin Kingdom for the past few years. He has established a deep friendship
with you. Therefore, after he inherits the throne, he will definitely continue
the peace covenant between the two kingdoms.
The prime minister of the Qin Kingdom
agreed with him and made this suggestion to the king of the Qin Kingdom.
But the king of Qin Kingdom rejected the
suggestion.
When he saw that this proposal was rejected
by the king of Qin Kingdom, he immediately implemented his emergency response
plan.
He arranged a secret channel, and he let
the prince of the Chu Kingdom smuggle back to the Chu Kingdom immediately, and
he stayed in the Qin Kingdom to cover this secret operation.
After he confirmed that the prince of the
Chu kingdom had returned to the Chu kingdom, he took the initiative to meet the
king of the Qin kingdom.
He said to the king of the Qin Kingdom.
I want to report something to you, the
prince of Chu Kingdom has returned to Chu Kingdom. This secret operation was
planned by me.
The king of the Qin Kingdom was so angry
that he wanted to kill him immediately.
But the prime minister of the Qin kingdom
said to the king of the Qin kingdom.
I don't think we should have killed him, we
didn't change the reality by killing him.
Instead, we should let him return to the
Chu Kingdom.
He was the ambassador of the Chu kingdom,
and his actions showed his loyalty to the Chu kingdom.
He is a brave and wise man, he is willing
to sacrifice his life for the prince of Chu Kingdom, the prince of Chu Kingdom
will definitely trust him very much in the future.
If we let him return to the Kingdom of Chu,
he and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Chu will thank us forever.
A lasting peace can be maintained between
our two kingdoms.
The king of the Qin Kingdom suppressed his
anger, and after thinking calmly, he agreed with the prime minister's
statement.
A few days later, he returned to the
Kingdom of Chu.
Three months after he returned to the Chu
Kingdom, the king of the Chu Kingdom died.
The prince who fled from the Qin Kingdom
and returned to the Chu Kingdom succeeded him as the new king with his help.
The new king made him prime minister of the
Chu kingdom and gave him lands in 12 counties.
During his tenure as prime minister, he
maintained a good and long-term peaceful relationship with the Qin Kingdom.
Dear friends, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
If you were the king of the Qin Kingdom,
would you suppress your anger and let him return to the Chu Kingdom? If you
were him, would you be willing to sacrifice your life for your kingdom?
I hope this story will give you some new
insights.

他是中國戰國時代楚王國一個著名的貴族。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他曾經代表楚王國擔任派駐在秦王國的大使。
他在任內成功地說服秦王國的國王打消攻打楚王國的決定。
秦王國與楚王國更簽訂了一份和平盟約。
簽訂這份和平協議後，楚王國將太子送到秦王國當作人質。
楚王國的太子與他一起住在秦王國首都的大使館內。
又經過了幾年，楚王國的國王生病了，楚王國的國王可能很快就會離世。
他收到這個消息後的隔天，他去見了秦王國的宰相。他對秦王國的宰相說。
根據我的情報，楚王國的國王已經快死了。
如果楚王國的國王死的時候，楚王國的太子還在秦王國，太子的兄弟一定會把楚王國的王位搶走。
太子的兄弟如果真的把楚王國的王位搶走，這個新的國王一定會反對，秦王國與楚王國之間簽訂的這一份和平盟約。
因為新的國王知道他這樣做會激怒你們，你們就會殺了這位依舊住在秦王國當作人質的太子。
我對你提出我的建議。
你們應該讓楚王國的太子回到楚王國的國內，讓他接替他的父親成為新的楚王國的國王。
楚王國的太子這幾年住在秦王國，他與你們已經建立了深厚的友誼，因此等他繼承王位後，他一定會延續兩個王國間的和平盟約。
秦王國的宰相認同他的觀點，就跟秦王國的國王提出這個建議。
但是秦王國的國王拒絕了這個建議。
他看見這個建議被秦王國的國王拒絕，他就立刻執行他的緊急應變方案。
他安排了一個秘密的管道，他讓楚王國的王子立刻偷渡回到楚王國，他留在秦王國掩護這個祕密的行動。
等他確認楚王國的王子回到楚王國後，他主動去見秦王國的國王。
他對秦王國的國王說。
我要向你報告一件事情，楚國的太子已經回到楚王國了。這個祕密行動是我籌畫的。
秦王國的國王非常生氣，他氣得想要立刻殺了他。
但是秦王國的宰相對秦王國的國王說。
我認為我們不應該殺了他，我們殺了他並無法改變現實的狀況。
我們反而應該讓他回到楚王國。
他是楚國的大使，他的行為顯示出他對楚王國的忠誠。
他是一個勇敢又聰明的人，他願意為了楚王國的太子犧牲自已的生命，楚王國的太子以後一定會非常的信任他。
我們如果讓他回到楚王國，他與楚王國的太子將會永遠感謝我們。
我們兩個王國之間就能維持長久的和平。
秦王國的國王壓抑住自已的怒氣，他冷靜地思考後，他認同宰相的說法。
幾天後，他回到楚王國。
當他回到楚王國後的三個月後，楚王國的國王死了。
從秦王國潛逃回楚王國的太子在他的幫助下繼任成為新的國王。
這位新的國王讓他擔任楚王國的宰相，並賜給他12個縣的土地。
他擔任首相的期間，與秦王國保持良好且長久的和平關係。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
如果你是秦王國的國王，你會壓抑住怒氣讓他回到楚王國嗎?你如果是他，你會願意為你的王國犧牲生命嗎?
希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
