He is very greedy and lustful(貪財好色)
The name of the founding king of the Han
Dynasty was (Liu Bang). The Han Dynasty he led defeated all the other kingdoms
in the chaotic generation after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
Among all the revolutionary armies at that
time, the army of the Chu Kingdom led by Xiang Yu had more than 400,000
soldiers, while the army of the Han Kingdom led by him had only 100,000
soldiers.
207 BC. The revolutionary army he led took
the lead in attacking the capital of Qin Dynasty, ahead of other revolutionary
groups. The king of the Qin dynasty announced his surrender and the Qin dynasty
was officially declared dead.
A few days later, Xiang Yu led the
revolutionary army of the Chu Kingdom into the capital circle of the Qin
Dynasty.
Xiang Yu ordered his army to be stationed
at a place called (Hongmen) outside the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
That night, Xiang Yu held a secret military
meeting with his military staff.
His military staff told him
The Qin Dynasty has fallen, and now all of
China is in chaos.
There are many revolutionary armies all
over China, and these revolutionary armies have their own armed forces and
land.
Therefore, our next task is to defeat all
the revolutionary armies, and we must help the king of the Chu Kingdom, whom we
support, to establish a regime that will unite all of China.
Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.
The military chief continued.
Among these revolutionary armies, I think
the one that poses the greatest threat to us is the army led by Liu Bang.
When Liu Bang was young, he was very greedy
and lustful, but after he captured the capital of the Qin Dynasty, why could he
curb his desires?
He took none of the precious treasures in
the palace. He did not take away any of the beauties in the palace.
I think there must be something more
attractive to him that allows him to go against his own nature.
I deduced that he wanted to create a regime
that would unite the whole of China.
Moreover, according to the reports of the
spies I have placed around him, he has recently revealed his ambition to create
a new dynasty.
Fortunately, our current military strength
is far superior to his, so we should find a way to kill him now.
If we do not act now, he will definitely
become the biggest obstacle to our unification of China in the future.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is greedy and lustful.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Will you sacrifice your present pleasures
for your ideals? If you were Xiang Yu, would you listen to the advice of this
military officer?
I hope you can gain something from this
story.
貪財好色(He is very greedy and lustful)
漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。他所領導的漢王國在秦王朝滅亡後的混亂世代中打敗其他所有王國。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
當時所有的革命軍中，項羽所領導的楚王國的軍隊共有超過40萬名士兵，而他所帶領的漢王國的軍隊只有10萬名士兵。
西元前207年。他所帶領的革命軍領先其他革命團體，率先攻入了秦王朝的首都。秦王朝的國王宣布投降，秦王朝正式宣告滅亡。
幾天後，項羽帶領著楚王國的革命軍也到了秦王朝的首都圈。
項羽命令他的軍隊駐紮在秦王朝的首都城外一個名字叫做(鴻門)的地方。
當天晚上，項羽與他的軍事參謀開了一場祕密的軍事會議。
他的軍事參謀對他說。
秦王朝已經滅亡，現在整個中國已經陷入混亂的局面。
中國各地有許多的革命軍，這些革命軍都有自己的武裝力量與土地。
因此，我們接下來的工作就是要打敗所有的革命軍，我們要協助我們所支持的楚王國的國王建立一個統一整個中國的政權。
項羽點頭表示同意。
他的軍事參謀繼續說。
這些革命軍中，我認為對我們會形成最大威脅的就是劉邦所領導的這支軍隊。
劉邦年輕的時候非常的貪財又非常的好色，但是他攻入了秦王朝的首都之後，他為何可以克制住自己的慾望呢?
他沒有拿走任何一件皇宮中的珍貴寶物。他沒有帶走任何一位皇宮中的美女。
我認為一定是因為有更吸引他的東西讓他可以違背他自己的本性。
我推斷他想要自己建立一個統一整個中國的政權。
另外根據我所安排潛藏在他身邊的間諜跟我回報，他最近已經流露出他想要創建一個新的王朝的野心。
但還好我們現在的軍事實力遠遠勝過他，我們應該趁現在想辦法殺了他。
如果我們現在沒有採取行動，那麼以後他一定會成為我們統一中國最大的阻礙。
這句成語被用來形容一個人貪財又好色。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你會為了你的理想犧牲現在的享樂嗎?你如果是項羽，你會聽從這個軍事參謀的意見嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
