He is an outstanding politician. There is a
story about him in history books.
The name of the founding king of the
Eastern Han Dynasty was Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu had unified all of China, one
day Liu Xiu said to all the ministers.
I am very grateful to you for helping me.
It is because of your help that I have been able to complete this difficult
task.
I believe there are 28 people who have made
the greatest contribution to the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so I
would like to pay special tribute to these 28 people.
Among the 28 people Liu Xiu mentioned, the
one who ranked first was (Deng Yu).
When Liu Xiu first had his own army, his
strength was still very small.
At that time, Deng Yu took the initiative
to join his camp.
Deng Yu once unfolded a map of China at
that time and presented his strategic analysis based on the situation of
warlords in various places in China at that time.
He made an important point when he told Liu
Xiu.
If you want to realise your ideal and unify
the whole of China, the most important thing is not how much military power you
have and how much land you have.
If you want to unify the whole of China, I
think you should have an open mind to accept all kinds of talented people, you
must have high morals, and you must care for and love all the people in the
place you rule.
If you can do these things, you can be
different from all the cruel, greedy warlords who don't care about people's
lives.
Only by gaining the trust and support of
all the people of China can you stand a chance of defeating other warlords and
winning the ultimate victory.
Liu Xiu agreed with him.
One day, after Liu Xiu had unified all of
China. Deng Yu and another minister took the initiative to tell Liu Xiu.
Now that the whole of China has been
unified, we both think that our main concern should be how to treat our people
well. We should return all the people to their original stable and happy lives
as soon as possible.
The two of us are willing to give up the
military power we currently have, and we will return the military power to you.
The two of us want to focus our work on
helping you lead all the people.
Liu Xiu had just completed the unification,
and Liu Xiu was thinking about how to prevent these generals with military
power from being proud of their own military power and achievements and
disobeying his orders.
Liu Xiu trusted him even more because of his
suggestion.
Until his death, he was the most important
and respected minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Which do you think is more important, moral
character or power? If you were Deng Yu, how would you avoid being proud of
your great achievements?
I hope this story can help you gain
something.

他是一位傑出的政治家。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
東漢王朝的開國國王的名字叫做劉秀，劉秀統一了整個中國之後，有一天，劉秀對所有大臣說。
我很感謝你們協助我，因為有你們的幫助所以我才可以完成這個艱鉅的工作。
我認為在創建東漢王國的過程中，有28個人的功勞最大，因此我要特別表彰這28個人。
劉秀說的這28個人中，排名第一的就是(鄧禹)。
劉秀在剛開始擁有自己的軍隊的時候，他的實力還非常的小。
在這個時候，鄧禹就主動加入他的陣營。
鄧禹曾經展開當時的中國地圖，針對中國當時各個地方的軍閥的情況提出他的戰略分析。
他提出一個重要的觀點，他對劉秀說。
如果你要完成你的理想，你想要統一整個中國，最重要的不適你有多大的軍事力量與你有多大的土地。
你如果統一整個中國，我認為你應該要有開闊的心胸去接納各種有才能的人，你必須有高尚的道德，你一定要關心與愛護你所管理的地方的所有老百姓。
如果你可以做到這幾點，你才可以跟現在所有的殘暴的、貪心的、不在乎人民生活的軍閥有所區別。
你只有得到全中國所有百姓的信任與支持，你才有機會戰勝其他的軍閥並贏得最後的勝利。
劉秀很認同他的意見。
當劉秀統一整個中國之後，有一天。鄧禹與另外一個大臣主動對劉秀說。
現在整個中國已經統一，我們兩個人認為我們接下來最重要的重點應該放在如何管理好我們的百姓，我們應該盡快讓所有的百姓恢復原本安定與幸福的生活。
我們兩個人願意放棄自己現在擁有的軍事權力，我們把軍事權力交還給你。
我們兩個人之後想要把工作的重點放在如何協助你管理所有的百姓。
劉秀剛完成統一，劉秀的心理正在想說要如何預防這些擁有軍事權力的將軍們仗持著自己的軍力與功勞因此驕傲與不聽他的指揮。
劉秀因為他的這個提議所以更加信任他。
他直到離世時，他都是東漢王朝最重要與最被重視的大臣。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你認為品德與武力那一個更重要呢?你如果是鄧禹，你如何避免自己因為自己的功勞很大而產生驕傲的心呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
