There was a famous minister in the Han Dynasty, his name was Zhidu.

There is a story about him recorded in the history books.

 

He was appointed senior military officer in charge of security in the capital.

He enforces the law according to the law, and he will not change his principles because of the identity of the prisoner.

 

All the nobles in the capital were in awe and fear of him, and these nobles dared not look him in the eye when they saw him.

These nobles took a nickname for her, the nickname is Goshawk.

 

The king's eldest son committed a crime and was taken to the unit in his charge for interrogation.

But unexpectedly, the king's eldest son committed suicide in prison before being put on trial.

 

The news reached the king's mother, who was very angry.

 

The king's mother said to the king.

Your son died in the prison he ran.

He must be sentenced to death.

 

the king answered.

My son committed suicide and I don't think it's his fault.

So I will not sentence him to death.

 

He was transferred to the border to be in charge of border security.

He is responsible and does a great job.

 

But the king's mother did not forget her resentment towards him.

The king's mother repeatedly and strongly demanded that the king execute him.

 

The king could not disobey his mother, and he was sentenced to death.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

Do you have a nickname? If you were him, would you feel unfair about your fate?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest.

側目而視(He dare not look this person in the eye.)

 

漢王朝有一位著名的大臣,他的名字叫做(郅都)

歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。

 

他被任命為負責首都保安的高級軍官。

他依照法律執法,他不會因為犯人的身分而改變自己的原則。

 

所有首都的貴族們都對他感到敬畏又恐懼,這些貴族們看到他的時候都不敢正眼看他。

這些貴族們為她取了一個綽號,這個綽號是蒼鷹。

 

國王的長子犯了罪並被押送到他所負責的單位接受審問。

但是沒有想到,國王的長子在接受審判之前,就在獄中自殺。

 

這個訊息傳到國王的母親的耳中,國王的母親非常的生氣。

 

國王的母親對國王說。

你的兒子死在他所管理的監獄裡面。

他必須要被判處死刑。

 

國王回答。

我的兒子是自殺,我認為錯不在他。

所以我不會判處他死刑。

 

他被調職到邊境去負責邊境的安全。

他很負責而且把這個工作做得很好。

 

但是國王的母親沒有忘記對他的怨恨。

國王的母親一再地且強烈的要求國王處死他。

 

國王無法違逆他的母親,他被判處死刑。

 

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。

你有綽號嗎?你如果是他,你會因為自己的命運感到不公平嗎?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
