He issued a clear decree with a cautious
attitude(明法審令)
During the Warring States Period of China,
there was a famous general whose name was (Wu Qi).
The art of war book he wrote occupies an
important position in ancient Chinese military classics.
His story is recorded in the history books.
After he left the Wei Kingdom, he went to
the Chu Kingdom.
When he was the leader of the Wei Kingdom's army, the Wei Kingdom had a total of 76 wars with other kingdoms, and the Wei Kingdom's army won 64 battles, 12 of which were tied.
Such a brilliant record made his name known
by the kings of various countries.
Therefore, the king of the Chu Kingdom made
him the prime minister of the Chu Kingdom.
After he assumed the position of
chancellor, he was careful to issue clear decrees, which he strictly enforced.
He eliminated and cut redundant staff in
the central government, he scrutinized corruption and bribery in the central
government, and he supported those who were loyal and honest.
He reduced or even cancelled the salaries
given to the nobles of the Chu Kingdom. He used the saved money to distribute
to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Chu, and he strengthened the training of the
troops of the Kingdom of Chu.
A few years later, after he completed the
training of the Chu Kingdom's army, he led the Chu Kingdom's army to repel the
attacks of other kingdoms, and he even led the Chu Kingdom's army to take the
initiative to attack those other kingdoms that were constantly provoking.
During his tenure as the prime minister of
the Chu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom's national strength became very strong, and
every kingdom feared the Chu Kingdom.
But a very sad thing happened.
In 381 BC, the king of the Chu kingdom who
supported his reforms died.
On the day when the king of Chu Kingdom
died, the nobles who had suffered huge losses because of his reforms united to
design an assassination operation.
In this assassination, he was killed, next
to the body of the king of the Chu kingdom who supported his reforms.
In 223 BC, the Kingdom of Chu fell.
This idiom means that he issued a clear
decree with a cautious attitude.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Is the government of your country clean or
corrupt? If you were him, what would you regret before you died?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
明法審令(He issued a clear decree with a
cautious attitude)
中國的戰國時代，有一個名的將軍，他的名字叫做(吳起)。
他寫的兵法書在中國古代軍事典籍中佔有重要地位。
在歷史書上記載了一段他的故事。
他離開魏王國後，他到了楚王國。
他擔任魏王國的軍隊的領導者時，魏王國與其他王國總共發生了76場戰爭，魏王國的軍隊戰勝了64場，其中12場不分勝負。
如此輝煌的戰績，讓他的名字被各國的國王所認識。
因此楚王國的國王讓他擔讓楚王國的宰相。
他擔任宰相的位置後，他用謹慎的態度發布明確的法令，他嚴格地執行這些法令。
他淘汰並且裁減那些中央政府機關內的冗員，他嚴厲地查核中央政府內的貪污與賄絡的情況，他支持那些忠誠正直的人員。
他減少甚至取消給楚王國的貴族們的俸祿。他把這些省下來的錢用來發放給楚王國的士兵們，他強化楚王國的軍隊的訓練。
幾年後，他把楚王國的軍隊訓練完成之後，他帶領楚王國的軍隊擊退了其他王國的攻擊，他更率領楚王國的軍隊主動地去攻打那些不斷挑釁的其他王國。
在他擔任楚王國的宰相的這段期間內，楚王國的國力變得非常強大，各個王國都畏懼楚王國。
但是很令人遺憾的事情發生了。
西元前381年，支持他改革的楚王國的國王逝世。
楚王國的國王逝世當天，那些因為他的改革受到巨大損失的貴族們聯合起來設計了一場刺殺行動。
在這場刺殺行動中，他被殺了，他死在支持他改革的楚王國的這位國王的屍體旁邊。
西元前223年，楚王國滅亡。
這句成語的意思是他用謹慎的態度發布明確的法令。
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。
你的國家的政府效能是清廉還是腐敗呢? 你如果是他，你死之前會因為何事感到後悔呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
